I first managed to get the exposure right on an entirely manual, inexpensive 35mm camera with no autofocus, no rangefinder and no exposure meter when I was about 15. I stared at that print for ages through a magnifying glass and was amazed. There was detail. Blurred but not a white blob and I could make out the seas. Magic!

@ramelfrost134 6 месяцев назад

what should image quality be set as? L, M RAW....

@scottyplug 5 месяцев назад

I would do L JPEG and RAW, that way you can have the best of both worlds. A JPEG, ready to download and share, and the RAW footage to edit in Lightroom or some other program. It takes up more room, but memory is pretty cheap these days. @@ramelfrost134

@richbrager12 4 года назад

Other tips: Use a polarizing or moon filter to cut glare. If your camera has a mirror, lock the mirror up to minimize camera shake. Quarter moon or crescent moon pictures can be better than full moon pictures since the sun is shining at it from the side causing shadows from the crater ridges giving more detail to your photos.

Hi Paul, just wanted to say a huge thank you. Some time ago I started watching your videos, I was in auto mode with the entry level D5600. After watching your tutorials (which perfectly explain how to move to manual mode) I moved to full manual and have never gone back to auto. I've even upgraded to the D500 and have achieved many stunning pictures. I don't think I would have been brave enough to move over without your beautifully and clearly explained videos. It's been over a year now and my love of photography has turned into a bit of an obsession :-)

Hey Paul! I'm glad I found your videos. I actually bought my very first DSLR camera, which is a Canon T7/1500D starter bundle kit. It came with 18mm-55mm lens and 75-300mm lens. A few weeks after I purchased the camera bundle, I purchased my very first prime lens(Canon 50mm STM lens). Through watching various of your videos(especially the ones that features the Canon T7), I've learned a lot. I'm dying to take a moon photo after watching this video, because I actually have the camera and lens you used to take your moon photo. Your photo came out so crisp and clean. I would greatly appreciate it if you could continue to do more videos on tips, tricks, photography, lenses, etc on the Canon T7/1500D🙏💯 I would love to grow my photography skills with the Canon T7 and the 3 lens i have right now. And so far you've helped me along the way, including a lot of photographer friends i know as well.

Hi Paul My name is Jose Marin I am from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 but I actually living in North Carolina, USA. I bought a Canon Rebel T7 few months ago in order to fill my dream of one day mastering the camera and taking professional photos for my own satisfaction.

You have just given me the inspiration to take up photography again. For too long the camera has been in the case. I was reasonably adept at general photos, and I did try moon shots, but they were woeful to say the least. Even though my Canon 450D is ancient by todays standards, it is still capable of doing the job, and with the help of someone like yourself, you have reinvigorated me to once again go out and take photos. Thank you for your clear, precise information, it was good to get back in the classroom again, and I cannot thank you enough.

@annmolloy8600 4 года назад

My first camera was a Minolta Hi-Matic semi automatic SLR camera, which I bought in Hong Kong in 1970. I had so much fun with it starting onAutomatic setting , then graduating to taking manual photos and slides. I still have it but don’t even know if I can get film for it now. I have a couple of compact cameras and a Fugi Finepix bridge camera. Your explanations brought so many memories back. My best ever photo was of the Houses of Parliament at night, I didn’t have a tripod, I just rested it on the embankment wall and held my breath while counting to ten holding down the shutter. It was a lucky shot!

@peterbarratt8699 4 года назад

You have covered the topic very well. One note I would add is, observe the moon through the camera and lens for a short while - minutes - and you will notice a shimmer over the surface of the moon from time to time. It is actually our atmosphere which becomes unstable for a short time. After a while, you can pick the quiet times (no shimmer), so target the photo in that time. This will give the shooter the best results, especially at higher magnifications. Another aside, shoot the moon higher in the sky - less atmosphere to shoot through. Clear skies.

Yep, and if she can't, I bet you're just itching to have a go!

Yeah, why does Homer Simpson buying Marge a bowling ball for her as a gift come to mind.

You are an excellent teacher! You are so patient with explaning everything so many times, even if you did explained it in other videos. You are doing a great job! I am lucky learning from you!

Thanks PhotoGenius..! Really simple and clear instructions. This video helps not only to shoot the moon but also to learn the basic techniques of DSLR.

Thank you, Sir, for this very thorough and very well-explained “How To” video! You are an excellent teacher, in my humble opinion. I look forward to putting your directions into action and hope for a clear night this coming Tuesday, December 29th, 2020 so I can photograph the last Full Moon of 2020! Thanks, again and best wishes!

I bought a canon some time ago just because I love taking pictures and wanted a good camera but I could only get a good picture (and not a white circle) of the moon late into the night early morning when it was a distance away. After following your instructions, last night I was finally able to get rid of that white ball. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It has helped like no other.

Thank you. I have been trying to find a video that explains all this in plain english for a long time. Tonight just happens to be a full moon and I can't wait to try all this out.

I think it's important is locking up the mirror, my shots of the moon are using a 5DMk4 150-600 tamron and 2x converter, --- lock up the mirror and a trigger remote cable or radio I also put sand bags on my tripod

I’m in uk and the weather was on my side no clouds and my house is in the perfect position for taking photos of the moon

Hi Paul! I just bought a Canon 850D about 2 weeks ago. I have been watching your tutorial videos and they are the best of what I have watch on RU-vid. I have learned so much and for been new to photography I can say that I have not used the Auto mode at all thanks to you. I love your channel so much that I have shared it with a friend.
