The July supermoon is the largest and brightest of them all. The full moon looks considerably larger than it actually is when photographed behind a building or other natural feature, which provides for some of the most amazing full moon photographs.
To get the best photo of a full Sturgeon Moon, try to see it during different phases. The terminator line, which is the line where the bright and dark sides of the Moon meet, is seen most evenings. However, the most priceless type of Moon may only be seen for a few days either side of the New Moon. A waxing or declining crescent moon with earthshine will also be seen at this time, near to the horizon. ..
Steps to take Photograph of full Sturgeon Moon
Focal Length for Moon Photography
A zoom or super-telephoto lens, a mirrorless or DSLR camera, or even a super-telephoto COOLPIX camera may be used to take pictures of the moon. Setting the camera into DX Crop mode on an FX or Full Frame Nikon DSLR or Z series mirrorless camera is one suggestion for lengthening the apparent focal length of your lens. This will give you more reach by adding the 1.5x crop that utilizing a DX format Nikon DSLR or mirrorless camera would have done.
Full Moon Exposure Settings
To avoid blowing out the detail in the craters on the moon’s surface, you might try to underexpose the picture. To discover the best exposure for you, compare many options.
To take a great photograph of the moon, use Spot metering. This will ensure that the moon, which will be the brightest object in your photograph, is properly exposed. Since the moon travels across the sky very quickly, use a shutter speed of at least 1/15 second or faster. Set the aperture to f/11 or f/16 and focus to infinity if your chosen ISO permits. ..
Camera Settings for Moon Shots
The COOLPIX P900 features a Moon Scene Mode that optimizes the settings, focusing at infinity, in the center of the frame. You may also want to use a tripod, and if you do, remember to set the VR to OFF in the setup menu. Don’t have a tripod? Brace yourself against a sturdy object or place the camera on a sturdy surface and use the Vari-angle LCD to compose the image.
Final Words
To capture a supermoon in a photograph, you must do your research, arrange your foreground, deal with the weather, and use the correct equipment, in this instance, long lenses (the longer, the better), which will draw the moon closer.
Tonight’s supermoon is a rare event that will be visible in most parts of the world. If you can’t go outside to see it, there will be another opportunity tomorrow night. ..
