As I watched the haunting clip of the October Full Moon Rise, I visualised the early native Americans and Australian aborigines watching the very same thing in a time free of easy explanations and intruders.

I guess with your 40D you can have more ISO settings, but I can probably use your approximate settings since the skies are not the same, lol, and yes I play with my settings too, but I am slow and by the time I get something, for my luck, the clouds move fast, lol.<BR/>BTW have you used your sensor cleaning feature, and does it work. I am itching to get new camera too, but then I will not get my money worth for another year or so....lol...Thanks again for the info.
