Help! I am trying to shoot the moon (sorry) and all I am getting is a pure white ball. I have a 40D, set to Neutral picture style, 28-135 set to 135, (okay, so the ball is pretty small) and f/8.0, manual focus, AF off, ISO 100, 2 second self-timer release. I also tried to focus with Live View, and no dice. Through the viewfinder I can focus very well, but the shots are not working out. Oh yeah, using Av mode. The shutter speed is ending up at 2 seconds according to the info. Evaluative metering.





BillW,


Amazing shot, beautiful detail. I want to capture something like this, even if it means cropping. What focal length are you using?
