The "full corn" moon shot was taken somewhere just east of the Wyoming-Nebraska border, a lovely hilled area with ribbon roads snaking eastward. We topped a hill to see a huge moon just above the horizon. By the time we stopped and I'd scampered to the side of the road to frame the shot, the moon was already half the size, although still mammoth. Still more amazing? Behind us to the west was a beautiful mountain-view sunset!
Both shots are "straight out of the camera" (except cropping) taken with a brand-new 'vacation' camera, the 10mp 12x zoom Panasonic Lumix. By recommendation, I'll tell you that I took this camera on vacation the first time doing something I 'don't' recommend, taking an unfamiliar camera on a trip, without even having read the book. That said, I put the camera on 'auto' and we just started shooting and hoping. Lucky, it worked out beautifully.
I wish I could take credit for discovering this camera but can't. For months, I looked at one point 'n' shoot camera after another, never finding exactly what I hoped for in a single package, feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by all the choices. So when Lydia Walshin from The Perfect Pantry and the cookie-baking non-profit Drop In & Decorate mentioned she'd bought the camera for a trip to Brazil, I ordered one the same day -- and am so glad I did!

Thank you for taking a moment to write! I read each and every comment, for each and every recipe. If you have a specific question, it's nearly always answered quick-quick. But I also love hearing your reactions, your curiosity, even your concerns! When you've made a recipe, I especially love to know how it turned out, what variations you made, what you'll do differently the next time. ~ Alanna
