Super Moon
Did you have a clear view of the Super Moon this weekend? Saturday evening was cloudy here in Akron, but by 3:30 AM, the moon was so bright that it woke me up! I was too tired at that point to try to go out and take photos. We had some low clouds again this evening, so by the time I got the chance to see the moon, it was pretty high up in the sky already.
This was my first attempt at night photography with the tripod. (Note to self: Buy a better tripod.) After peering into the viewfinder without touching the camera and watching the focal point drift across the moon several times, I nearly gave up. I just can’t seem to tighten the lever down enough. But I was getting pretty close to figuring out the settings for the exposure I wanted, so I re-tightened it and tried again.
There was still a bit of a cloud wrapping around the bottom, but I’m just happy to have got one decent shot. Photo taken with Canon 5D Mk II, Tamron 70-300 mm lens at f/16. ISO 100 1/15 sec
