How to shoot a clear moon SLR

1. Set the correct aperture. You can't shoot the moon with the default maximum aperture (F2.8 or F2.0) of many cameras. Generally speaking, you should use an aperture of F5.6 or less.

2. Use spot metering to measure the light at the brightest place of the moon. In this way, the correct exposure coefficient can be obtained as much as possible.

3. adjust the EV value. When shooting the moon, you usually need to subtract EV, which should be 1 or 2. The exact number depends on your shooting. Shoot according to different aperture and EV values, play back immediately, and adjust according to the results before shooting. These are easy to realize in DC, which greatly improves the success rate of shooting.

4. Consider the shutter speed. If the shutter is set around F5.6, the shutter speed should generally be set at1125s or faster. In addition to preventing overexposure, there is another important reason for using high-speed shutter, that is, the moon, as a celestial body, is constantly moving. If the shutter speed is too slow, it is easy to paste.

Nothing is absolute. Some people shoot the moon more clearly with a slower shutter speed. This is all related to the weather at that time and the equipment used.

ISO sensitivity and zoom selection. When shooting the moon, we usually choose the lowest sensitivity, either ISO50 or ISO 100. Too high ISO will not only cause overexposure, but also make the picture rough.

Shooting the moon is usually done on a clear night, and it is best to have no clouds in the sky. Under such high visibility, the moon will naturally be clearer.

To tell the truth, the ordinary household DC we use can only be regarded as a play to shoot the moon. For friends who are keen on shooting celestial bodies, it may be very rewarding to search some special astronomy enthusiasts' websites on the Internet.

Extended data

Choose a clear and cloudless night in lunar calendar 15 every month. Fix the SLR camera with a tripod and aim at the moon. Because the moon is far away, and the SLR lens of the 70D kit has limitations, the focal length is adjusted to the maximum position.

2. Then set the camera mode to manual mode M file.

3. Adjust the image quality of the camera to the maximum size, and select the photo format as RAW source file format, so as to leave enough space for the later PS.

4. Set the sensitivity ISO of the SLR camera to 100 and the aperture to 7. 1, and then try to take some photos with different shutter speeds for testing. After testing, the details on the moon can be clearly seen in the photos taken by adjusting the shutter1125 seconds.

5. From the preview of the SLR camera, it is the default full-screen size, because the lens focal length of 18- 135 is not enough, so the moon shot is particularly small. But it doesn't matter, you can use PS to cut and adjust later.

6. We can enlarge and preview the effect picture on the screen of the SLR camera to see if the shot effect achieves the expected effect.

7. You can take more photos, pour them into the computer, and then choose. For example, the following picture is the one I chose and think I took better.
