What an incredible photo. I tried to take some photos of a full moon a while back and it looked sort of like a light bulb! Thanks for the tips.

Carra-I saw it, but my camera work, especially night views were less than adequate. Guess I'll just have to rely on my memory, and wait for 2014 for another shot at it.

Wayne ~ It does take some practice for night shooting and adjustments on the camera.. and if you don't have a camera that can be changed for light and shutter speed.. it's not going to work.. good luck on that learning curve.. you will love it once you get going!

I'm a litte late responding to your message, but like you, have been all over. We missed the moon in northern Indiana because of the poor weather, but I enjoyed the one that you posted. Thanks, it wasn't a total loss.
