Mobile phone photography, the sky has changed greatly

Shoot the moon with your mobile phone. Remember the following five core shooting methods, it is not difficult to shoot the moon.

0 1

Shooting opportunity

The best time to photograph the moon is when the moon just rises at night, not when it gets dark at night. More specifically, it is the most suitable time after sunset 1 hour, for example, tonight, around 6~7 pm in most parts of China.

At this time of night, the moon has just risen, and the brightness of the moon will not be particularly bright. At this time, the moon is not easily overexposed and will not be easily photographed as a pale white spot. In addition, at night, the sky is still blue, not dead black, and the photos of the moon taken at this time are the most artistic.

Therefore, it is very important to shoot the moon at the right time if you want to shoot it well. You can start shooting the moon after sunset. Don't wait until it is completely dark.

02

Telephoto shooting

The mobile phone lens itself is wide-angle, and the direct shot is 1 multiple focal length. The photographed moon will appear very small. If it is overexposed, the moon will only have a small white spot on the screen.

Shooting the moon requires a mobile phone to zoom 3 times to 10 times, and some even have a special moon shooting mode, which supports up to 50 times zooming to shoot the moon. When magnified, the moon will be bigger and more prominent.

In the mobile phone shooting interface, slide the zoom bar and adjust the zoom factor to 3~ 10, so that different mobile phones can be eliminated and different lossless zoom factors can be supported. For example, Huawei P40 Pro supports 5-fold lossless zoom, so adjusting it to 5-fold zoom to shoot the moon can not only ensure clearer picture quality, but also ensure that the moon is more prominent.

Zooming is a necessary operation for a mobile phone to shoot the moon. It should be understood that the larger the zoom factor, the worse the imaging quality of the mobile phone. According to your mobile phone, adjust it to a more appropriate zoom factor to shoot.

If your mobile phone has super moon mode, you can shoot directly in this mode, and you can take a big and round picture of the moon. For example, the following picture was taken in the super moon mode of vivo X70 Pro+:

Exposure adjustment

Shooting the moon requires the focus frame of the mobile phone to aim at the moon to ensure that the details of the moon are clear. The most important point is that after zooming in, the larger the zoom factor, the worse the anti-shake. So the phone needs to be very stable. If the zoom factor is large, you need to fix the phone with a tripod.

In terms of exposure, it is necessary to appropriately reduce the exposure of the picture. After focusing on the moon, you can reduce the exposure of the picture by pressing the small sun on the right side of the focusing frame, so that the details of the moon will be more abundant, and it is also important to reduce the exposure.

Basically, as long as you shoot the moon in the night sky or blues, you can use the normal mode of the mobile phone, zoom 3~ 10 times at the same time, focus clearly, and properly reduce the exposure to take good photos of the moon.

If you miss the blues moment, shoot the moon in professional mode, remember this set of parameters: sensitivity 50, shutter speed 1/200 seconds, and focus on the moon.

Remember! When shooting in the blues period, just use the ordinary camera mode, zoom 3~ 10 times, and reduce the exposure. Shoot in the dark, use professional mode, adjust parameters, zoom 3~ 10 times.

Composition frame

If you take too many pictures of the moon, you will find that most of them are the same, because the moon looks the same and is round and cannot be changed.

If you want your moon photos to be different, you must be good at discovering different prospects. The common prospect can be looking for buildings, branches, leaves, peaks and other scenery. Arranging these scenery in the foreground of the picture, in contrast to the moon in the sky, is often more attractive than shooting a moon alone.

Moon delay photography

The moon can also take pictures of the changing effect of time-lapse photography, the process of the moon rising and the moon fluttering in the clouds. Using time-lapse photography to shoot the moon can test the imaging quality of the mobile phone in low light at night, and at the same time, in order to highlight the moon more, it can be enlarged and shot closer.

Several core skills of lunar time-lapse photography:

1, tripod, mobile phone time-lapse shooting mode or software shooting must be required; 2. The zoom of the mobile phone is 5~ 10 times; 3. The time-lapse photography magnification is about 120~ 150 times, the sensitivity is 50, and the shutter speed is about 1/200 seconds; 4. It takes about 20 minutes.

Ok, this tutorial will explain how to shoot the moon with a mobile phone. The key points are: blues moment, telephoto shooting, looking for foreground composition. I hope everyone can shoot a beautiful moon with their mobile phones.
