Back on the 27th of September there was a total lunar eclipse. \u00c2\u00a0That is where the Moon moves through the Earth’s shadow and turns completely red! \u00c2\u00a0We went out to shoot the Moon with Friend Walter. \u00c2\u00a0These are some of my\u00c2\u00a0photos of the event.<\/p>\n

The problem most people have with the Moon in photos is over exposure.<\/p>\n

\"Day1532201\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You are taking a photo of reflected sunlight.<\/p>\n

\"Day1532202\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You need to be very close to a daytime exposure to get details on the Moon’s face.<\/p>\n

\"Day1532203\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, that darkens everything else, so we don’t see the dark side, or in this case the side covered by the Earth’s shadow. \u00c2\u00a0This exposure was at:<\/p>\n

1\/250s f\/8.0 ISO500 400mm<\/p>\n

If you expose for the rest of the sky or any landscape involved, you will just end up with a white blob.<\/p>\n

Another problem is size. \u00c2\u00a0While the Moon looks big, it is really very small in the sky, and you usually need a very long lens, like a 300mm or 400mm to start to get nice detail.<\/p>\n

And these were taken when the Moon was near the horizon yet, and you are looking at the Moon through a LOT of atmosphere! \u00c2\u00a0So they aren’t as sharp as they sometimes are.<\/p>\n
