Often overlooked, the moon can be a surprising challenging to capture. That’s because whenever the sun is shining on the moon (such as during a full moon), it lights up incredibly bright in the middle of a very dark sky. It can be like photographing a light bulb. Adjust settings to f8-11, 1/40-1/60th, 1200 ISO. The effects can be compounded easily during a lunar eclipse, as the moon suddenly dims to become orangish red with a bit of lighter edge, causing the photographer to switch settings again to a much dimmer, night sky subject.
I often don’t know what will come of an image until it appears. While I do plan and prepare as best as possible, I remain open to new discoveries based on the moment. Nature surprises.
