Breaking The Rules
I see all these photos of the moon shot at ISO 10 million or some such thing using a gyroscopic mount on a tripod with a remote release because "that's what you are supposed to do."
Well, you know me, I almost never follow the rules, especially when it's cold out. This was ISO 200 and free hand.
For what it's worth, I do follow one rule as quoted by John Shaw, "The first rule of photography is this. There are no rules, only guidelines."
Another thing people always do is shoot the moon when it is full. I think the next time I shoot it will be when it is half full or less. For sure no more than 2/3 full.
