I took this photo on an almost full Moon with my Panasonic Lumix FZ40 30X digital camera Sunday evening, May 15, 2011 after having a good meal with good friends at a central Arkansas restaurant. I used a shutter speed of 1/500th second to cut down on the brightness. Note you can see craters on the Moon's southern horizon.
