Fascinating Moon

A few days ago we had a full moon. There is something with the moon that makes me stare at it. It is fascinating. 
Again and again I have tried to capture the moon on film. Usually I end up with a bright white spot on the photo.

Recently my neighbour borrowed me an outdated book about photography with lots of good advices. 
Now! 
Yesterday night!
I finally got a shot that actually showed the surface structure of the moon, after I zoomed it in on the computer. Yeehaa! 
Yeah! That's what I wanted! Wow!
Aperture, shutter- speed, auto focus, manual option. 
Ten different shots, ten different settings.
Do I now remember what I did out there in the dark? 
Unfortunately - no!
So, I have to try it again until I do. But now I know I can do it!

The countdown is on. Four more days! :))
