OK, just because this is not actually in Frisco, we still like to shoot it. |

If you are interested in the technical aspects, this was taken at a slightly higher speed, then compensated afterwards by some of the retouching techniques used in portrait work. We used a 70-200mm lens in conjunction with a teleconverter which doubles the telephoto to 400mm. ISO 100, F10, 1/250 sec, on a tripod, mirror lockup and hand dampened. Taken from right behind our studio in Frisco.
When taking pictures of the moon at night, unless you can practically fill the frame, or have spot metering, you are better off simply overriding the camera metering and treat it like it is daylight (which it is on the moon). Use the Sunny 16 rule then check your results and adjust accordingly. When using a telephoto, adjust the Sunny 16 rule by changing your shutter speed to more closely match your telephoto distance to avoid camera shake-caused motion blur.
When the moon is closer to the horizon, your eyes will tell you that the moon is larger, but the camera isn’t fooled by the optical illusion. The moon is, however, dimmer and more orange because of the filtering of the dense, smoggy or smoky atmosphere of the earth. |
