Moon

Moon (Luna)



The moon has been fascinating humans for millennia. Even I can not deny a certain attraction - and not only from a photographic point of view.

The most impressive pictures are obtained when the moon is either in the phase of the waning or waning moon. In this phases the craters can recognize very well due to the shadow formation.


Of course, it is also important to know how far the moon is from the earth. So the closer to the earth and the fuller the moon, the more light you have. At almost full moon, it can also be photographed with a strong lens partially out of hand. However, if the camera does not allow high ISO values, or the hand is very restless, you can also use a tripod and long shutter speed. But even here, you hardly believe it, the moon moves relatively quickly - so the following rule of thumb, so that the moon is sharp even with long exposure, you should not expose longer than: one second divided by one-tenth of the focal length. At 300 millimeters, 1/30 sec would be the maximum, at 500 millimeters it would be 1/50 sec.

The absolute highlight this year was the total lunar eclipse on 27.07.2018.

In addition to the moon, Mars, Saturn, the ISS and the Hubble could also be seen in the sky.

A really good opportunity to take pictures.

The collection of my best pictures from the last 10 years of the moon is below ... ... have fun while enjoying.
