Attached are two photos I took recently trying to incorporate the full moon in the shot. As you can see from the photo, the full moon did not come out properly. Any suggestions what went wrong and how to correct the problem so it doesn't happen again.
Stumbo, I like the moon in the first one (second one is overexposed). If you could lighten the underexposed image but leave the moon as is, you might have a pretty nice image IMHO. Many people think the only good moon shot shows the man in the moon, but I and many others also like a moon similar to that in your first one. An overexposed white blob almost never looks good, but a moon without detail but with a bit of starburst can look incredibly nice.
So I guess it all depends on what look one is after.
