Hey Alison! At least you got to see the moon! I didn't. :-(

Now that you know it isn't easy as it looks, you can really appreciate the guys who get great shots. It's really not that hard, it just takes a little practice to get good shots.

For full (and near full) moon shots, use the sunny f16 rule as a starting point and adjust from there. It's not that difficult.

With an eclipse though, the amount of light is constantly changing. That's where digital really comes in handy. So get out there and practice for the next lunar eclipse on August 28th!
