Hi mborn, I recognize you as a pretty nice fellow on this forum so please don't think I am deriding you personally or your ability as a photographer but I must ask... Just what kind of melon is that or is it an abberated zucchini?

In all seriousness I think moons standing alone against a dark sky are triple boring. In fact I think melons and zucchini's are a better subject. Catch it on the way up, while it is rising, and against a background which is discernable. Don't mean to be harsh but this is a pet peeve of mine. Moon moon, blah. And if you can capture the bright moon just rising above the horizon with some transparent cloud cover it could be great.

Also, on Sunday evening the moon will rise at a time when there will still be quite a bit of light in the sky which will nicely light the foreground and show the moon nicely exposed against a blue sky. Moon shots while the sky has not darkened completely are always more interesting than black sky shots. One more thing, remember the rule of thirds or at least try to place the moon off center. If you are shooting with a 400mm or longer lens remember that the moon moves pretty fast. It will rise its diameter every 2 minutes until it reaches about 30° above horizon, then it will slow down. Just be aware. Have fun and bring some nice images.

I get tired of people considering themselves expert and throwing snide comments when they don't bother to correctly read what someone wrote. I've edited about 500 photos out of 2,500 imported through LR4 so far, so I'm not a newbie who has to sit here with the manual under my elbow.

I said it's POSSIBLE to delete files from the hard drive in LR4 and I fear doing so by accident. I never said I didn't know how this function works nor that I do it on a regular basis from being inept and inexperienced. I'm aware a box pops up with the choices available. It doesn't take a manual to read the screen. But the check box for choosing to delete from the hard drive is only a fraction of an inch away from the check box to delete from LR4 only. A slight slip by a sloppily controlled mouse finger could cause permanent deletion if one were flipping through that box too quickly and the operator didn't watch carefully to make sure the correct check box was chosen.

Non-destructive as the term is used in audio editing, for example, is that you can do anything to data in the project being worked on, and all of it is only in the project file, just like LR4 - a sidecar file if you prefer the term. But when you delete something in most of the good audio editing software, it is only deleted in the project while the original data is never touched. You can't delete it permanently unless you take extreme measures to close down the project and go to a completely different area to do so. That requires an intentional desire to physically delete permanently. And even then it will ask you if you are absolutely sure you want to delete it permanently.

Less convenient but safer by far. That's very different than the way LR4 allows you to move your mouse a fraction of an inch and wipe out your file, thus I consider LR4 as having the potential to be permanently destructive too easily.

And if I remember right, LR4 does not give you a second warning of, "Are you SURE you want to permanently delete this file from the hard drive?" which I would expect to see, thus you aren't protected from doing so in any way.
