Thanks Guys!

Benzaholic- To shoot the moon, you have to catch it on its rise or set. If its too high in the sky, it'll be really hard to capture becuause its so bright. Even in the shot above, I had to under expose by something like 5 stops!

Ahh, thats where "sometimes rules are meant to be broken" comes in :rolleyes:

Sure enough! I kept looking at the shot in my LCD and it was still overexposed, so I just kept stopping down and finally got something.
