Moon

There was a full moon, and the way it was in the clouds made it look like the iris of an eye. Unfortunately there was also power poles in the way of the eye, and using my point and shoot didn't give great results on the moon itself. This photo is specifically taken with the intent of being able to later take a better one (you can't have a photo that is better, without having one that is worse).

Canon A720 - 1/1500 sec - f/5 - ISO 1600 - ~75mm

Lighting, strobist info.

Used GIMP to scale and watermark.

I probably could have shot with a lower ISO and slower shutter speed. That sky is pretty noisy. I'd like to try this again with my dSLR, a really narrow lens and a tripod.
