The rising of the full April moon

in Photography21 days ago

The most studied natural phenomenon in terms of photography is the moonrises and moonsets. When I was still "young", I already "ate the dog" in the earth satellite capturing! Then I was just on the landscape-postcard wave...and, always, constantly.

To this day, I still need to know how to photograph the moon.

The Photographer's Ephemeris app still helps me with this.

In recent years, I have been trying to capture not only the moon as a fact, but also to do it in a slightly more unusual way.

I still haven't been able to photograph the full moon with people, that is, in the street genre or in some kind of reportage.

It seems to me that Vologda is not quite suitable for this...although, I've already filmed people against the background of the moon.

Most likely, I just haven't grown up to it yet. Although the moon already appears in my landscape pictures, not at all, but in whole stories in the genre of street or minimalism!

A good top of photos, they are very pretty, and the blue tones seem impressive to me.

The photos look beautiful and interesting with the blue environment👌

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!
