Thank you.
All my secrets are made public.
Yeah. Surprising how much you have to lessen the exposure to get a good moon shot. Had I shot with the meter it would have been like 3 seconds wide open and blown it all out. I did some manipulation on the raw file, but not a whole lot.

6. Moon shots tend to be tricky for first timers. |

Everyone forgets that the moon is in direct sunlight (sunny f/16 rule), but the surrounding sea of black will confuse the built-in light meter on anything except spot mode.
Opanda's Iexif plug-in is great for checking the common EXIF data fields. If you want to see it all, try ExifTool.
For a challenge try a lunar eclipse. Here you need to be careful about slow shutter speeds because the moon is moving at a good pace. If I remember correctly any slower than 1/15 of a second will get you some motion blur.
