    Anyone notice the size of the moon right now? Took a few pics but they're not coming out to well. It's bloody massive though!

    Ah, I was just blindly shooting tbh. I have an OK camera and some nice lenses but I really need to learn how to use them all better. I like the really dark one myself, gives me the creeps.

    er... you guys *do* know that the moon appears at more or less the same size with only small variations... right? The moon always looks really large when it's low in the sky....
