- Photographing the moon has its own set of challenges, but it's really simple to get started! Here is lunar photography for beginners: all you'll need to take those first photos of the moon.

Thanks for the compact roundup.I use Olympus OM5 MK3 with 100-400 OM + TC
Tip use Spot metering. You won't have to stack as many images. I don't ever stack them. I just expose correctly.
Some times this is the best way to learn "teach"
The viewfinder advice is important, but only applicable to SLR/DSLR cameras. Mirrorless cameras use EVFs, so no sunlight would hit your eyes through those.
Exactly !!
Really helpful video 👍🏻
Great video, thank you.
Great suggestion for stacking images for lower noise and increased clarity/resolution. Since the moon is lit by the sun, you can use the "sunny 16 rule", which means to set shutter speed at 1/ISO and F16. I spent a night photographing a lunar eclipse with a Nikon D800 (full frame, 36MP) and 300mm lens, and the moon was only 300-ish pixel wide. 400mm on M4/3 is sure to get a better image.

Good job Emily 👍 If you don't have Photoshop you can use Pipp + Autostakkert, but it's lot more work than your method.
Hi Emily! If you happen to see this: Do you have any advise for eclipse photos? On the gear side: I'm planning to get the G9v2. I've got a G9 and the panna-leica 50-200 now. I'm up between that lens with the 2.0 converter, the current 100-400 at a bit of a discount now, or if it is worth waiting for the new version. On the technique side: I'm reading what I can find, and I think you've got some good advise here, but if you happen to make an eclipse video, I'm all for it 😊
Is the viewfinder thing still true with an EVF?
I think your video showed the 'My Moon Phase' app instead of 'Moon Pro', I was a little confused about which app you used (unless, maybe you ended up using both).
I have a 4/3 camera, is it better to leave aperture wide open (in my case f/5.6) or close down to f10?
Here because Camera Conspiracies sent me!
i use a telescope with my oly for lunar detail shots with an adapter. what i'm frustrated about is capturing the bigger picture especially when there's a nice thin veil of cloud that the moon is passing through with some foreground silhouette. i understand that's due to the huge dynamic range difference that just wouldn't translate unless you do a composite which i don't really like doing... T_T
Fun project. 😀
In December around 13th-14th there is a meteor shower called the Geminids. I have never taken photos of meteors however from reading about this particular event, there could be upto about 120 per hour and as few as 50 per hour. And what is even better is that there will be either no moon or a very small moon in the sky.
I'm hoping that the weather will hold out for this display so that I can get a timelapse and meteor composition.
It would be nice to end this crap year with a bang of celestial fireworks.
Don't know about you, but this will be a big learning curve for me.😀
That sounds amazing!
@@MicroFourNerds I'm getting really excited about this and I'm so glad that I decided to keep my Laow 7.5mm lens now.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great ideas. I always waiting for the full moon, but when we get there the weather turns cloudy. (Murphy's law) ok I'll do a half moon and let see what Murphy will do about that.
As the moon is very far away (more than 360000 kilometres) but not very large (less than 3500 kilometres i diameter), for photographic purposes it is like a flat disc -- so no high f numbers needed. On a Panasonic 100-400 you will be at f/6.3 anyway. Shutter speed is more important to get sharp pictures.
Why not using Spot-Metering? Why not using HiRes-Mode? No need to close aperture on mFT-Lenses for sharpness...
I can certainly see sharpness differences from say 2.8 to f8. Just because the sensor is smaller doesn’t mean that isn’t the case, and I didn’t include high res mode because not every camera has this. Mine doesn’t
The hi-res mode doesn't really work well for moon shots because of how it creates the images. The moon is not a fixed point in the sky. If you're zoomed way in (like you are at 400mm), you'll very clearly see the moon moving across the screen/viewfinder. Even the relatively short amount of time between the frames used to compose the hi-res image produces quite a bit of motion blur.
It is almost a universal truth that lenses are not at their sharpest wide open. This is irrelevant of the sensor for which it is designed.
@@JonnyBravo0311 Sure, experienced that last week. I was zoomed in at 400mm and I could see the moon moving up in the viewfinder. I realized I had to review my shooting strategy, hence watching this video tonight. Thank you Emily.
