With pending cloud cover but still otherwise clear, I decided to take a wider picture of last night’s Full Moon. Today’s image is actually a composite of two images, in order to get in at least some detail of the Moon, and present a closer approximation to how it looked for real with the surrounding clouds reflecting moonlight.
Taken with my DSLR camera on tripod, the image settings for the foreground were:
- f/2.8
- 1/8 sec exposure
- ISO 400
And for the Moon itself:
- f/5.6
- 1/250 sec exposure
- ISO 100
I like this look, though I wish I had done a better job with the foreground, to accentuate the nearer images while de-emphasizing the Moon. This was practice for next time.
