Goodnight moon

I include this shot of tonight's crescent moon not so much because it's all that great but as the first I post taken with my new Canon S3 IS. With my four-year old Canon D400, the moon would look like the indistinct white dot in this shot. Or this one. So while I still have a lot to learn about photographing our satellite, it is a vast improvement.

Also, in the unnecessary details category: For this shot I steadied the camera not with a tripod but by pressing it against a wall and pointing it toward the moon. Despite not lining it up, the moon ended up exactly centered vertically and horizontally in the shot. Which is why I cropped it centered for posting here.
