The Full Beaver Moon.

Sounds like a 70's adult movie title, but that's what it's called. Great picture.

I've tried to take pictures of the moon and I am always overexposed. Do you have any advice for a pitiful amateur photographer such as myself?

It took me a few trys to get those by adjusting the ISO and shutter speed.
I think if the shutter speed is too slow it over exposes.
I was just trying out my new Canon SX50IS. I had the SX30IS which I used to take wildlife pics with, but this one is so much better. Has an awesome stabilizer built in for video shooting. I am no photographer....I just take pictures....

I'm sure Airdale1 could help you with all that photo Vodoo/black magic stuff......
