You won't be able to get *everything* in focus -- there is a depth of field and anywhere before or after that field will begin to loose focus. Set your F-Stop at f/8 or f/11 -- if you're shooting a person, focus on their eyes. If you're shooting a group of people, focus on the eyes of the people in the first row. If you're shooting landscape, focus about 1/3 of the way into the scene.

Cool Heavenly Bodies

I'd really love to find some info about successfully photographing a full moon. It would be great to cut my "settings guessing" time down.

Thanks!

A tripod and shutter release are important! Use mirror lock up. The key here is to set the camera for spot metering so you're just metering exposure for the moon and not the night sky.

I am a little confused, this is a photography forum - not a programming one?... Good luck with that though!

The difference between "regular" and fine art photography and how to create fine art images.
