Buy a zoom lens next week and then take a picture of December’s not quite supermoon. No one will know the difference.

Going to the beach, but there’s a probability of overcast.

I’m naming it the Yuuuge Moon. Should be perfect conditions in vegas.

Scout out your location the night before & take practice shots.
Use a good tripod.

Pretty weak advice. Here are mine

Highest ISO possible, I go upto 6400

Looney f/11 rule: ISO 100, Exposure 1/100 second, f/11

Vary as necessary, e.g, ISO 200, depending on circumstances. On auto exposure, the moon tends to get washed out, saturates, because it only occupies a small number of the cells and the camera will generally average over the field of view.

Use a tripod.

Use delayed aperture to allow the camera to settle. Use “mirror up” if you have it.

Use optical zoom.

With an APS-C camera (most common interchangeable lens camera chip format) your horizontal (narrower) field of view will be be about equal to the diameter of the moon at 1900 mm focal length and scales proportionately from there. At 200 mm FL, the diameter of image of the moon will be about one-tenth the shorter dimension, at 50mm, one twentieth. Half these numbers with a full-frame camera.

If you use a phone camera, I would recommend max zoom and hoping for the best.

Another Super Moon?

We never had them when I was a kid.

What’s up with that?
