Than full moon photography

A post by: Katie McEnaneyPPThe rising full moon is a shot at many photographers bucket lists, but how many of us remember that the Moon is there even on those other 28 days of the month? Forget the moon no longer; There are many good reasons to keep shooting the Moon during its phases./PPIMG class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-64310″ alt=”moon, full moon, photography, how to” src=”http://www.photo-natural.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wpid-McEnaney-full-moon.jpg” width=”600″ height=”400″/PPCraters are a fascinating function of the Moon’s surface, and they are easier to no longer function when the Moon is full. During a full moon, an entire side of the Moon is visible and the sun light reflects back to us. Craters, by contrast, look better in shade, since these less direct light the differences in height on the surface stresses and bring better contrast and definition. A moon Moon (the lumpy phase between full moon and the first or last quarter when the Moon looks half full) is an excellent choice for craters. Along the edge where the Moon in darkness disappears, you will be able to the deep shadows of the craters in your moon picture capture./PPIMG class=”size-full wp-image-64311 aligncenter” alt=”moon, moon photography, gibbous moon, how to, craters” src=”http://www.photo-natural.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wpid-McEnaney-gibbous-moon.jpg” width=”600″ height=”400″/PPAs the moon along the progression continues, it will pass through the first quarter and the Moon’s Crescent phase. Before the Moon reached its classic, lean waxing form, there are also many opportunities to catch it that the craters. Because the Moon at different times of the day and night during different phases is visible, you can also catch the different colors of light./PPIMG class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-64312″ alt=”moon, moon photography, crescent moon, how to, crescent, craters” src=”http://www.photo-natural.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wpid-McEnaney-barely-crescent-moon.jpg” width=”600″ height=”400″/PPThe Crescent is the phase between the first or last quarter and the new moon, when the unlit side of the Moon is facing the Earth. The Crescent shape is extremely important in many cultures. It is often the version of the Moon drawn by children, but it can be overlooked by photographers. The Crescent is generally visible during the daytime hours, making it harder to see and photograph successfully. But, as the smallest size is reached the half moon, you’ll be able to set up in the early evening, against the brilliant deep blue skies that are well suited for Moon shots./PPIMG class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-64313″ alt=”moon, moon photography, crescent moon, how to, crescent, craters” src=”http://www.photo-natural.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wpid-McEnaney-crescent-moon.jpg” width=”600″ height=”400″/PPAnother phenomenon to photograph with the half moon is known as planet. If you stare closely with a slim Crescent Moon, you’d just need to be able to see the dark outline of the rest of the lunar surface. That surface is dark because it is no longer as a result of the light of the Sun. The fact that you can see at all is because that part of the surface is reflects back light of the Earth, hence the term “planet”./PPIMG class=” wp-image-64315 alignright” alt=”moon, moon photography, crescent moon, how to, crescent, earthshine, star” src=”http://www.photo-natural.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/wpid-McEnaney-earthshine.jpg” width=”300″/PPIf you have a recording of the waxing moon planet seem to show, you need to shoot in manual and overexpose the image significantly. The part of the Crescent Moon will be overexposed (very light) If you bring details of sections within the shadow of the Moon, which can result in a very unique Moon shot. A tripod or a camera with good high ISO performance is critical, such as a longer zoom lens. Try to keep your shutter speed under a second or two, otherwise the moon will begin to move during the exposure and fading of the image./PPA moon photographed alone, however, is just a shot of the moon. If you want to really a collision with your Moon photography, regardless of the phase, you must have an interesting foreground or background color. The two critical components here are know the timing of moonrise or moonset, and knowing the approximate location of the Moon in the sky./PPThe photographers Ephemeris is downloadable software (free for laptops and desktops, but a paid app for Android phones, Apple and tablets) watch the moonrise and moonset times you (as well as sunrise and sunset times) against a map, with which you can plot out exactly where the moon appears in the sky, depending on where you are standing.
