Maybe, and I'm not talking with any scientific knowledge here, the difference
in reflected light is greater than 1/2 between the full moon and half moon
because in a full moon the light is reflected back to the viewer but for a
1/2 moon the light is reflected to earth at an angle. Hence, there is a 2
stop difference between full and half moon illuminated exposures.
Just guessing...
Who wants to test this? I'll just use my OM2 I guess.
