RE: The rising of the full April moon

in Photography • last month

The photos look beautiful and interesting with the blue environmentđź‘Ś

I understand your doubts about photographing the moon. Can you help? 👨‍🎓

The moon reflects a lot of light and, at night, it is very difficult to get a correct exposure between the moon and the other elements in the photograph.

There are many methods. Perhaps the simplest and most objective: photographing in HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode can help because it balances different light intensities. You can have your camera in HDR mode. If not, you can do it in editing (to do this you need to photograph the same frame at different exposures and merge them in the editing program - Photoshop, for example).

Another way: take two photographs in exactly the same place and framing, in manual mode (not automatic): take one with the correct exposure for the moon and the other with the correct exposure for the other elements of the photograph. Then it's time to edit (select the correct exposure of the moon and move to the other photograph, with the correct exposure of the remaining elements of the image).

I don't know if I was enlightening, but I tried to help.

Good moons, good photos!
