| 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.
