My grandfather took this in Lucerne in 1960, on slide film.

I took this in March, 2011 on a digital camera.

he had better weather
I took my camera, a Canon 50D and put it on my tripod. I set the camera to ISO200, 1/250 seconds, and f/8 aperture. I locked the tripod and focused on the moon. I use a 10 second timer so that the camera would be as steady as possible when the shot was taken. That’s all there is to it, bar cropping in photoshop.
