Subject: [Leica] IMG: Moon Over Tennessee

Bob Adler mentioned Thursday that the moonrise can be seen around sundown in 
California on March 19th, so I started looking here.  In the East, it rises 
too early in the day to make a useful photo.  I noticed tonight that it was 
approaching an overhead position and I had a clear shot, though there was a 
slight haze around the moon.  Not trusting the weather forecast, I decided 
to do my thing tonight.

After trying several tripod shots that were disappointing, I decided to go 
to the old standard approach, which Tina Manley mentioned sometime back.  
Camera on Manual, ISO 200, Sunny 16 exposure, manually supported, but 
leaning against a wall.  I gave up trying to manually focus, and set the 
scale at infinity.  This was the best of five shots.
