[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 342979, member: 12257"] That's correct. On partial moon shots, you're actually seeing a side of the moon as the sun hits it from the side, so you get the shadows and definition from that angle of light. On a full moon, the sun is hitting it practically straight on, so no shadows to define the features. Imagine it the same as shooting a subject at dawn vs. noon. One is a pronounced shadow, the other is practically non-existent. [/QUOTE]
