Shooting a super moon with success

Be Ready: A supermoon seems larger and more alluring when it is low on the horizon, so plan your photography accordingly. Look for a location with a clear view of the horizon and determine the precise hour of the supermoon.

Pick Your Gear: Use a telephoto lens with a minimum 200mm focal length while photographing the moon. Use a tripod to keep your images steady and prevent blurring.

The moon is bright, therefore to acquire the ideal exposure, use a tiny aperture (high f-stop number) and a quick shutter speed. f/8 for the aperture, 1/250 for the shutter speed, and ISO 100 are good beginning points.

Autofocus could have trouble with the faint and far-off moon, so focusing will be tricky. Use the live view feature to enlarge the moon while switching to manual focus. Manually adjust the focus until it is crisp and clear.

Take the Photo: To reduce camera shake, utilise a remote trigger or a self-timer. Use a neutral density filter to cut down on incoming light if the moon appears overexposed or excessively bright.

Feel free to experiment with various settings and compositions to define your own personal vision and produce stunning pictures. Good luck!
