I was standing outside freezing... a windy 32 degrees in a t-shirt, jeans, and sandals. I grabbed the camera and tripod and took some quick pics.

I was pretty disappointed... I was hoping they'd come out better. I guess it's as good as it can get with only a 55mm lens. Would have been awesome to have my dad's 300mm lens.

Pics taken with a 18-55mm lens, Canon Rebel XTi. Look at the filename to see ISO and exposure time. I had quite a hard time using the manual focus while staring straight up... the auto focus wouldn't catch on the moon.

Nice!! I got one pic which turned out to bee way overexposed (forgot to change that...) then it got completely cloudy, and I couldn't get any more. Sad. And I had a 300mm lens on my Rebel XT too!! sad.gif

A friend of mine took them, also they aren't from 2004.


Edit, I believe the 2nd one was from 2004, it was cropped to make it bigger.
