On Tuesday night there will be a total lunar eclipse and a full blood moon, and many people will use their mobile phones to take a great photo of the moon, but it's not easy.
The moon will always appear as a small glowing dot in the frame if you don't have a telephoto lens.
It's hard to shoot at night. You can shoot in low light situations without losing the quality of the image if you change your ISO or sensitivity on a professional camera.
Can you use your phone to take pictures?
If you download an app, you can shoot the moon through it instead of using the camera on the phone. You can increase your sensitivity rating by using some apps. If you want to capture the moon as it goes past, you need to make sure there is more than one element. The viewer can get a better idea of the size of the moon with this.
Even with these apps, you might be disappointed in the outcome.
If you want to take an amazing picture of the moon, you need a long lens. A cable release or a two-second delay timer can be used to release the shutter. The camera won't shake when it hits the button. It allows you to increase the size of the moon in the frame, but still keep the image as sharp as possible.
The camera you use will affect your settings. The ISO should be set to 100 to keep the image quality high. The biggest file size your camera has is allowed by setting your file size to raw.
Aim for around f8 when shooting the moon.
The best pictures of the moon are up for grabs.
The image was shot by Matt Cardy at the festival.
Cardy used his composition and focal length to create an impact frame. The size of the moon makes it look like something out of a science fiction movie.
