Full moon photography

Quote: Hedi de Zilva 07.10.17, 11:19Hello, how can I take a picture of the full moon showing the clouds as well without loosing the structure of the moon? Hello! Capturing the full moon along with clouds while preserving the moon's structure can be challenging due to the significant difference in brightness. Here are a few tips to help you achieve this:

Choose the Right Time: Try to photograph the moon when it's lower in the sky. This will reduce the brightness contrast between the moon and the clouds.

Use a Tripod: A stable tripod is essential for long exposures, which you'll need to capture the details in the clouds.

Manual Mode: Set your camera to manual mode to have full control over the settings.

Aperture and ISO: Use a small aperture (f/8 to f/11) to get a deep depth of field. Set the ISO to a low value (100-200) to reduce noise.

Shutter Speed: Experiment with different shutter speeds. A faster shutter speed (1/100s to 1/250s) can capture the details of the moon, while a slightly longer exposure can bring out the clouds. You may need to take multiple shots and blend them together in post-processing.

Spot Metering: Use spot metering to focus on the moon and adjust your settings accordingly.

RAW Format: Shoot in RAW format to have more flexibility in post-processing.

By using these techniques and a bit of trial and error, you'll be able to capture a stunning image of the full moon with the clouds!

How can I make better picture?

There are so many factors that come into play when it comes to taking a pictures. First and foremost you need to understand the difference between shutter speed and aperture. Even if you have a point and shoot camera understanding those concepts will allow you to better use the camera you have. Please remember the best camera is the one you have on you at any given time.

May I suggest getting the book Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson. This book is one in a series of three that many photographers have used to learn about the craft of photography. Once you understand how your camera works all you need to practice. With digital photography, you can take as many pictures are your heart desires. Go have fun….
