Super Moon

 Today was Supermoon day!  So I decided to give it a try and practice some moon shots.  I goggled how to do it, and it didn’t seem too complicated.

Camera: check, Tripod: check, Long zoom: check, check

Well, when you have a 3-year-old the whole idea of planning for a shoot goes down the drain. We made it late for dinner and by the time we got home the moon was past its biggest size.  Then, it’s been so long since I’ve used my Manfrotto that now I remember why I haven’t used it more often. Same thing with the remote cable Yeap, I was not prepared.

So my shots were way over exposed (I forgot to read the whole line with the basic formula:  ISO 100, f 11, 1/125).  Still, it was fun to play with my camera.  Even on digital, long exposures bring interesting possibilities.  Oh well,  I have plenty time to prepare for Nov. 14, 2016.
