Playing with the Moon

Last night I bought a small tripod for my camera, and since we had a wonderful full moon I wandered outside to play with it. The advantage of the tripod is that I can use much longer exposures without worrying about camera shake, which makes night shots much easier. I tried for some "moody" silhouettes, played with various manual settings and did some black and white shots. I'm not a very good photographer and I have a lot to learn, but I had a good time. Here are some of my favorites.
