How to shoot the Mid-Autumn Moon

The methods of shooting the moon in Mid-Autumn Festival include: the need for accurate time and suitable plane position, and the choice of lens for shooting the moon.

1, need accurate time and suitable seats.

Shooting the moon, choosing the right time and finding the right shooting place is the first step to successfully shoot the moon. If you want to shoot the big and round moon, you need to meet the condition of 1, that is, the day when the moon is closest to the earth. Usually, about 15 of each month is the best shooting time.

In terms of shooting location, you can choose to shoot from a height to ensure that there are no obstructions around. If you want to add foreground to the picture, the lens should be as far away from the foreground as possible, so that the foreground in the picture will become smaller to reflect the relative size of the moon. By compressing the distance of the telephoto lens, the foreground and the moon can be well blended.

2. Choice of lens for shooting the moon

Shooting at the moon is the same as shooting at birds. Nothing can be done without a telephoto lens. The focal length of shooting the moon lens should be at least 300mm, and the larger the focal length, the better.

Photography skill recommendation

1, focusing and composition

The most important thing in taking pictures is focusing. Most mobile phone cameras have autofocus function, so be careful not to shake your hands when taking pictures. In order to make the picture more harmonious, we must learn to make a simple composition. Many smartphone camera interfaces provide "nine squares", also known as reference lines and grid lines.

The four points where the vertical line and the horizontal line intersect in Jiugongge are called golden section points, which are the focus of the picture. Putting the theme on the golden section will make the theme more vivid/prominent. You can also use symmetrical composition to give people a harmonious and balanced picture.

2. Make full use of weather and light.

The best time to take pictures is in the morning and evening. At this time, the light is soft and the photos are warm. If we can make good use of the light of sunrise and sunset, whether it is side light or smooth light, we will have a chance to shoot creative blockbusters. In addition to the above time periods, sunny days are also very suitable for taking pictures.
