I thought that I'd finish out this week of really boring photos with another really boring photo of my son's pile of laundry. However, the evening saved the day. The crescent moon was beautiful and I hurriedly set up my tripod and switched to the zoom lens. The large photo with the blue background was taken with a 4 second exposure, film speed of 1600, F5.6, and a 300mm lens. I uploaded it full size so you can see the detail if you click on it. The reflection is really mysterious, and if you zoom in you can see the Earthshine really well.

The moon photo was taken with a shutter speed of 1/60, film speed of 800, and F9.
