Bob Do you want the moon to look like it is made of cream cheese or like some dull grey muddy orb? If you use sunny 16 (so often recommended) that is exactly what you will get ... because in reality its albedo is well down on that of even a grey card. For pictorial representations ... to me it looks better lighter ... Two References I looked up a while back: 1: Michael Langford's 35mm handbook: 1/15 f8 2 Michael Freeman's 35mm Handbook: 1/60 f11 ***** The one I prefer Personally, after some trials, I now use "sunny 16 + 2 stops as a starting point. Specifically I use 1/60 f11 and bracket (the aperture) for clarity ... That's just my take ...
