[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 272867, member: 15805"] Photographing the moon is easy. Set your camera on manual and adjust it according to the Sunny 16 Rule. After all, the moon[I] [B]is[/B][/I] sunlit. Using any auto mode, unless you happen to have a 1500mm lens, the camera is fooled by the black sky in the background. All the camera sees is a lot of black, and it tries to make it a middle gray because it's been programmed to do just that. [/QUOTE]
