Technique: Capture the supermoon
http://www.andrewfusekpeters.com/moon
Kit List
1. Long lens 300mm and above. This is where APS-C or Micro Four Thirds come in useful
2. PhotoPills app - moon rise times, milky way star trail shoots. visit photopills.com
3. Warm clothes
4. Raw processing software. The moon is incredibly bright. Software bring back detail from the highlights and bring up shadows for a perfect supermoon photo.
Tips
Moon is very bright in a black sky. Use spot metering. Moon is best slightly under exposed than overexposed. Turn of AF. Set Manual Focus.
1. Good timing (no haze). Early morning or twilight hours
2. Tripod needed. (camera shake)
3. Telephoto lens 200mm or longer (400 - 500 mm recommended to magnify the moon).
Purchase teleconverter to double zoom capacity.
6. Use Sunny 16 rule (basic daylight exposure)
e.g. ISO 100, f16 1/125 sec - image if too dark, use
f/11 or f/8. e.g. ISO 200, f11, 1/125
7. Manual focus (or live view)
8. Timer
9. Experiment with WB e.g. AWB (moon is white), Daylight WB (moon is yellow).
10. Use App to get moon times
