I shot the moon!

Despite what you might think, this picture was NOT taken after dark...it was the beginning of dusk, but the skies were still blue. When shooting the moon, I found that it comes out so bright, that you have a hard time making out the craters and any of the details. So, I stepped down the exposure manually so that it's actually underexposed by -.7 step. As a result, the sky looks dark ;-) Enjoy!
