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. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Moon+Over+TN.tif.html E-510 with Leica Telyt-R 250/4 Comments and critiques welcomed. Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
