The sunny 16 just states set your shutter to the reciprocal of the ISO and shoot at f/16.

I took this image at 1/250, f/10 at ISO 100 and there is no vertical crop.
Hey, Grant, thanks for sharing the explanation of how to shoot the moon. I've had a number of successful moon shots myself once I realized that the moon was reflected sunlight and exposed properly. I am wondering if you can explain for "the folks at home" why you suggest f/16, ISO 100, 1/100 but then show an image where the settings you used were f/10, ISO 100, 1/250?
