I seent those already thanks to the photos at the bottom of the home page. Those are excellent! How did you get the moon to look so good?

yes, Gman - that's SPAC. How did you know?!? ;)


Keith - I have found that the secret is to take about 486,037 photos of the moon, and out of those, one or two should be pretty good. :D

I've been there enough times to recoginize those round lights when I see 'em. You must have snapped these while you were at the 50 Cent concert, right? ;)

actually, I didn't have to pay at ALL! Neuro's folks volunteer at SPAC so we got free passes.

(That may have been a bit of a stretch... :D )

What kind of camera where you using to shoot the moon?

Both shots were taken using my Kodak Z7590, which had to be returned because it ws defective. It had some serious problems with its autofocus feature and no manual override, so 99% of the shots came out VERY badly. I don't fault that type of camera, because obviously, these shots show that it has potential... and it also received very good reviews.

When I returned it, I went with a Canon Power Shot which has a few more features, but I really haven't had any opportunity to test it out much.

That's cool, G-man that you know where that is. That has to be one of the best places I have seen concerts. We go to the 1812 oveture every year put on by the Philly Orchestra. Maybe one of these times you and your wife could join the picnic that my parents put on. It's a great time...wine, food, friends and family!

mine wasn't that expensive for what it is. Here's a review, if you are interested: Canon PowerShot (http://www.dpreview.com/news/0504/05042201canons2is.asp)
