Then just after the sun went down, the moon appeared!! A FULL moon! It was very bright, so it was impossible to photograph the moon's features. I really should purchase some lens filters for this digital camera.

David In Indy:
Thanks sweetie!! The camera auto selected the ISO in the first picture, and it was too cold out there to stand around and press buttons and turn dials on my camera, so I said frig it.
I remembered to dial down the ISO in the moon picture. So it turned out a little better noise wise. :)
David In Indy:
I've also noticed when I use my G9 to take pictures, the pictures look worse when I resize them down to 800x600 or 640x480. And after I upload them they look even worse. I'm not sure if this is my IP's (AOL) fault. I know images lose quality as they are compressed, so I suppose compressing them, or in this case resizing them smaller, also lessens image quality and resolution. Most of the time I leave my camera set to 12 MP (4000x3000)or even RAW. Maybe if I reduce the original image size I wouldn't have this problem. The quality of some of my pictures after the upload is disappointing. I admit many of my high ISO images have noise, but nearly as bad as is appearing on Bettermost. I will investigate this and hopefully I will figure it out.

?? I knew they got worse when I blow them UP...
