March 2011 - super moon
I love photographing the moon.  But, getting a great image of the moon is tricky.  I certainly wouldn't call myself an expert.  Over the past few years, I have learned a few tricks:
  •  use a tripod or set your camera on a stable surface
  • shoot early - either in the evening or morning, when the sky isn't as dark
  • spot meter the moon
  • add other elements into the picture for more interest - (tree branches, city lights, roof tops, etc.)
  • use a zoom lens
  • bring a flashlight out with you so you can see your camera's buttons and dials
  • don't get so excited that you forget all you know :)
Next time you see a beautiful moon, get out and give moon photography a try.  Like any challenge the rewards are worth it.
