How to Take a Strawberry Supermoon with Your Phone Tonight

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —

Phenomenon Strawberry Supermoon will soon arrive and we can observe it, even capture it using a camera. The following method may be your guide so that the resulting photos are more suitable for saving.

The full moon this time is known to be seen all over the world, including throughout Indonesia, starting from the appearance of the Moon at sunset until the next day when the Moon sets.

The full moon phase occurs on June 25 at 01.39.33 WIT/02.39.33 WITA/03.39.33 WIT. However, the moon has been visible since June 24 at night.

Photographing the moon is not an easy matter. Many photographers run into the same difficulty the first time they try it. Despite all the challenges, photographing the Moon is a great learning experience, especially if you want to experiment with your phone a bit.

Shooting with cell phone

We can photograph the moon using the camera on our cell phone. However, it is recommended not to rely entirely on camera phone devices, be it iPhone or Android. It’s a good idea to download an application that can help you take pictures from a distance and in low light.

It is recommended to include other elements in the image such as a beautiful bridge or mountain. This allows us to gain perspective on the size of the moon and also makes the image more interesting.

Then it is recommended that you use a tripod specifically for your phone when taking pictures to prevent ‘hand shake’ which leads to blurry images, demanding The Guardians.

Moon photography basics

First decide whether you want to take a close-up shot of the Moon with all the details, or maybe just include it as a smaller part of your overall composition.

However, photographing the Moon in close-up requires more sophisticated camera equipment and techniques.

Second consider. You have to decide which phase of the Moon you want to photograph. The moon looks very different in all its phases and casts deeper shadows on the surface and makes different parts of the moon stand out more.

Then select the right camera settings. It is important to know which camera settings are best suited for moon photography, especially when using a super-long telephoto lens. Long shutter speeds and camera shake can be a big source of trouble, this will make the moon and details appear blurry.

Photographing the Moon in low light

How about photographing the Moon in low light? That’s when things got a little more challenging.

The main reason is the difference in exposure. The moon gets quite bright especially at full moon, while the rest of the scene is too dark.

If you expose the Moon, you will be able to see all its features, but the landscape will look too dark. If you expose for the foreground, the landscape will appear too dark and the Moon will be overexposed.

The solution is to take two or more images, expose separately for the Moon and foreground, then combine the two, launch Photographylife.
