That was super helpful! I set it, and shot a great shot of the moon through my window, handheld, and it looked great! Thanks a bunch!!!
That's a good tip. Very simple to remember.
That was really great easy to the point information. Fast but great
This simple advice helped me a lot. I had no idea what I was doing. Then I finally got a perfect shot with the lunar 11 tip :-)
Hi Tim, that is brilliant, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
Thanks so much....that worked perfectly!
Straight to the point..i like it
Thanks a lot for those valuable tips, very precise, right in time to get a great picture of the Super Moon yesterday night.
No problem at all, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
THANK YOU. THIS WAS PERFECT
Excellent tip. Thanks
THANKS, very simple, to the point and understandable!
Hi Chris no problem at all, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Thanks Dave for the easy tip, it really helps amateurs like me :)
I'm excited for tomorrow's supersnow moon.
Cheers!
Hi Shubhi, no problem at all, I am glad the video was useful. Hope you get some great photos. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Just what I was looking for tonight. Concise, detailed, and sufficient information to allow me to get outside quickly and get the shot. Thank you. Subscribed, shared, and liked. Any chance of a video on how to include using an ND filter?
Thank you !
Huge help...... just got a x2 converter for my 500mm lens. Will try it out in next few days. Thanks.
Hi Alan, I am glad the video was useful. Good luck with the Moon photos. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Thank you, very informative and very easy to remember. Thank you also for not having music playing through your presentation, such a refreshing change these days.
Hi Paul, I am glad the video was useful, I must admit to having some music on a couple of other videos! Thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
I'm with Paul on the background music; enormously distracting and unnecessary. Just my .02. Great video here.👍
So helpful. Thank you!
Hi Elizabeth, no problem, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
A million thank yous new subscriber 😊❤
Brilliant, thank you very much, have fun, Dave
The best use of a Sigma DC 18-200mm OS on my average crop sensor canon eos 250D. For a brief second I felt like I’ve got some real gear. Thanks a lot subscribed.
Hi Shibill, I am glad the video was useful. The important thing to remember is that it doesn't matter what camera you have you can still take great photos. If you look at the most iconic images ever taken, most were on a camera far less sophisticated than yours. Thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
This worked perfectly thank you!
No problem, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Excellent tips! Thanks!!
Hi Jimbob, no problem at all, enjoy photographing the Moon. Thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
Thank you it worked perfectly.
Hi Roderick, no problem at all, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Excellent
Dave...you are a genius...
I was shooting in 1/60 iso100 and f10-13 and i always get an image that is not so clear ,not impressive one,
But after i followed ur steps, using a higher iso with higher shutter speed, amazingly it worked,
You definitely know what you are talking about...
Can't thank you enough man... you are awesome and wish you nothing but greatness...❤ from Malaysia
Lunar 11 tips is by far the most useful tip I have seen...im sharing this with everyone...haha,
Hi Mr Faceless, thank you, if only someone who knew me felt that way! I am really glad that the video worked so well. Thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
Sounds like your shutter speed was definitely too slow. The moon is constantly moving while you're trying to take the picture so a higher shutter speed will definitely make a difference.
'still too movey'.... i like that.
Thank you very much for all the advice I have just won the photo of the week from EDP iWitness24 Norfolk after using your method.
Hi Anna, that is fantastic! I am really glad that the video was useful. Is there a link online for your photo, I would love to see it? Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Hi Dave here is the link of my photo facebook.com/186724038071865/posts/1961700413907543/ I so look forward to taking a next project 😊🙏
Checked out your photo and it is amazing. . #MoonLove #ImANewbie
Hi Paul, it is not something I have tried as yet but hopefully this will get you close. Video is a little different from stills photos, firstly your shutter speed should be roughly double the frame rate so at 30fps use a shutter speed of 1/60th. If you set the iso to 100iso then an aperture of f16 should get a good exposure, you should be able to see in live view if the settings are working, if not just adjust the aperture until it looks good. I hope this helps, good luck, Dave.
Hi Paul, sometimes trial and error is the best way to learn. Photography can seem complicated at time times but it basically just controlling the correct amount of light that reaches the sensor to record an image. Good luck and keep shooting, Dave.
Thank you so much :)
Hi Khalil, no problem, I am glad the video was useful.
Can you please recommend a lens for the Nikon D3200 for moon/night pictures? I would greatly appreciate it!! 😊
nice video dear
Hi thanks to your method i have taken a set of shots i would be not only happy to print but i may have a few framers amongst them also
Hi Richard, I am glad the video was useful and you got some great shots. Thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
@@ThePhotoShow I even while forgetting i had the same settings took a shot of a wood Pidgeon in a short burst and caught it taking off
@@richardjones4080 you may have found the universal setting for every photo!
This worked perfectly on my Canon Rebel T6!
That is great, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Very useful ! Thanks
Hi Kevin, no problem. I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, stay safe.
The Photo Show I need a good site now on how to work my canon 5D Mark 4 camera ! Any suggestions ?
Great simple tips! But my problem is that the background/foreground gets really dark on only the moon is visible. How do fix this?
Thanks for keeping it short...much appreciated 👍
Hi Hemant, no problem, glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Thank u...
No problem at all, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
works every time
It does the job. Thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
I know you did this video in 2018 but I'm new at this and I just got a Canon T7i. Do you have any recomentiios on what lens to use to get a really close up pics of the Moon for the Canon T7i (on a budget).... thank you and thank you so much for the video.... from the big D...
Hi Sandra, Canon do have a 75-300mm EF lens that would get good Moon images and is less expensive than their professional range. Also Sigma and Tamron make lenses that will fit Canon cameras. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
What lenses are y'all using?
I tried this with my 5d Mk iv and 400mm lens and 1.5 extender set @ F11 with ISO 640 and shutter @ 640 and all i got was a bright blue grainy image with very little moon, so the F11 rule does not work at all with this kit.
okay darth sideous, jk lol very helpful video!
Would it make sense to chose a quite long shutter speed ? To capture the moon during the eclipse?
You are correct that during an eclipse the Moon is not as bright, personally I would adjust the aperture to be wider to compensate. The problem with using a longer shutter speed is that the Moon will move across the frame due to the Earth's rotation and this will result in a blurred image. Alternatively you could raise the ISO value. Next time there is an eclipse take a few photos at different aperture settings and see which one works the best. I hope this helps, have fun, Dave.
Didn't work with my setup (1Dx-II, 300mm f/2.8. It got me kind of close. Had to go to f/8, ISO 100, drop shutter to 1/50th or slower, tripod and delayed shutter.
Using the 'rule of 11' yielded an overly underexposed and blurry image. The concept was sound, but had to fine tune to my gear.
First time I've seen my Canon EOS R6 with the Canon 800mm lens be just what I need in low light. It's locked at F/11. Will give it a try tomorrow. Thanks for the 11 Rule.
No problem at all! Hope you get some great shots. Thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
Does the Lunar 11 rule work for all phases of the Moon or just when it's full? Only asking because a crescent Moon is much dimmer than full one but much more photogenic (to me anyway :))
Hi Paul, it should still be good as the areas of the Moon lit by the Sun would still have a similar brightness. I would suggest taking a few shots and varying the shutter speed or ISO to see what works best.
Will this setting work in Crop sensor camera? I have Nikon d5600 with 18-55 and 70-300, Pls give some good tips, anyone
Hi Yogesh, the settings will work with any camera, the sensor size will make no difference. I would suggest trying with your 70-300mm lens. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Okay Dave thank you so much
Does the lunar 11 rule also apply to 4/3 cameras?
Hi Dysnomia, yes it will work on any camera. The sensor size makes no difference to exposure values. Thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
Todays the BLUE SUPERMOON
A RARE EVENT AFTER 2009
can a digital camera capture like that?
Hi Mina, yes 100% all of the images in the video were taken that way. Thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
I usually set my camera up in the studio with a block of cheese. Then when I photograph the moon my settings are right on ;)
Gouda, for the harvest moon🤣
what about when the moon is out in the day summertime
Hi Paige, photographing the Moon in the daytime is much easier as the exposure reading for the sky will be roughly the same as the Moon, allowing you to trust the camera's exposure meter. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Thank you for the video. I just don't understand for the life of me why we would want to use a huge F-stop? With 2.8 we can lower the ISO and increase shutter no? Thanks again for the video.
can i use any camera app
Hi, I am guessing you mean on a phone? Not really a phone's camera will not zoom in and give an image of any usable quality. hank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
@@ThePhotoShow Thanks for nice suggestion
Superb video, i am at the moment transitioning from hardcore porn photography due to my gran dieing to astro photography, this video has helped. Thanks.
And the winner of the best UA-cam comment is... Thanks for watching and making my day, stay safe, Dave.
WHAT PHOTOGRAPHY-
@@conflictpog8814 space objects
What about focus?
Hi Rahil, you can use autofocus but once it is in focus turn it off and the image will be in focus. Hope this helps, stay safe, Dave.
@@ThePhotoShow You mean switch to manual focus once it has focused
@@rhlparkr Yes or just manual focus from the start.
@@ThePhotoShow Got it
hi man have you ever been there bruv
Yes, twice!😂
@@ThePhotoShow what was the parking like, can you get any thing to eat , many thanks man, lol
@@ThePhotoShow hey also it was a good moon last night, thanks for the vid, took my best pics ever of the moon last night, do you have any tips on taking pics of the sun, i have a old kodak instamatic and been putting my wifes bottle glasses over the lens , ha ha,
@@daveberry2177 parking was good plenty of space but only a four hour limit. It is cheaper if you use the Ringo app.
Unfortunately hundreds of dollars iPhone can’t
unfortunately this doesn’t help me at all although it may help others, nice video though lol
This is not interesting. Make a video how to shoot moon and city .
Hi Hank, it would not be possible to give specific camera setting for the Moon over a city. It would depend on the time of day, the lighting in city etc.
Pure BUNK. Why f11??? First of all, you must consider your focal length! That is the most important factor. Let’s say we are shooting a lens between 300mm’s to 600mm’s...Why not open up the lens to f8 or even f5.6 or f4 and use a faster shutter speed and slower ISO? Your f11 rule is silly. Don’t forget the other rule where your shutter speed must at least equal your focal length. I.E. Focal length of 300mm’s must have at least a shutter speed of 1/300” or preferably much faster. This is your first consideration whether you use a tripod or not. After you have a focal length and shutter speed match, then you can consider your f stop and ISO. The lower your ISO, the better. The faster your shutter speed the better, especially with long lenses. If you are going to make a UA-cam video, please get your facts correct.
Hi Robert, the f:11 rule is intended as a quick as easy way to have a setting that works. I agree with some of your points, if using a tripod matching the shutter speed to focal length is not necessary as that rule is another simple example for when hand holding a camera. The bottom line is the settings are easy to apply and do give good results. There are of course many options you can use and are free to do so, none of which makes the facts incorrect. Have fun, Dave.
They're recommended settings to give folks a starting point, not hard and fast rules. Jeez.
Totally agree, they are all good tips that help but are not the be all and end all. Have fun, Dave.
You're pure bunk, robert!
