Ok, what would someone recommend as best settings on a 40D, to get some good shots of a rising full moon, over a salt waterway and marsh?
Thanks

Thanks Unless you use a long lens then the Moon is going to look very small. If you want a big, fat, Moon then you're going to need something like 3-400 mm. Frank Hollis - Retired mass spectroscopist

Manual focus only and Manual Mode at F-8 to F-9 and then I just adjust the shutter speed until I can see the details in the moon in the Live View Window. It will show on the metering that it is well under exposed but don’t worry. Also Shoot in RAW. Just FYI, as soon as you go into Live View the metering changes to Evaluative. That is why it shows underexposure. Elie / אלי
