How To Plan & Photograph EPIC Moon Photos!

[@PhotoPills]

Amazing job Albert! You're better than me explaining how to use PhotoPills :P

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

haha thanks my friend. But no one comes close to The Bard!

[@PhotoPills]

@AlbertDrosPhotography hahaha 😍

[@dyhrdmet]

I think he sold me on using PhotoPils

[@RobertMintonPhotography]

At last I think I understand how to use fotopills, thank you!

[@D.radventures2021]

Excellent tutorial Albert, you explained pretty well. Can you do a tutorial on how and where to focus and what the settings are more or less as point of guidance, camera settings, etc. Thanks and really loved your images.

[@stephanjanssen2293]

This is some proper planning Albert, perfect job!

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

Smart calculation ✌️

[@MunnaanKhan]

Thank you Albert, I will use this knowledge for the best!

[@robertadamson3099]

Outstanding as always, Albert! I love the tutorial on the PhotoPills in particular--something I haven't taken proper advantage of yet.

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

Its a lot of fun, and very addicting :)

[@SourojitBh]

Please explain how you finalised the exposure values.

[@ieuyar]

Thanks a lot Albert! So insightful, I'll definitely use it in the next full moon! :)

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

awesome!

[@luisquesan]

Nice video, I'm an usual moon photographer in tthis type of conditions but I wanted to ask you how do you recover the highlights because in all my photos with iso 1000 and longer tham 1/20 the moon usually is completly burnt, so do you take multiple exposures? or it's just one exposure and then you do your magic to correct that white burnt moon? Thanks!

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

Like explained in the video: if you pick the right timing you will have enough ambient light to get it in one exposure. Always underexpose a bit so the moon is not blown out :)

[@StarScaperPhoto]

Nice video, well explained! And ofcourse, awesome results also 🙂.

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

Thanks my friend. When are we going on some astro adventure again :D

[@StarScaperPhoto]

@@AlbertDrosPhotography rather sooner than later I hope! If the clouds allow and that full moon of yours is not in the way anymore that is 😁

Albert dankjewel voor de uitleg

graag gedaan!

@@AlbertDrosPhotography lol I don't remember. Maybe a typo. Maybe it's just so beautiful I teared up. 🤷

[@williweden9317]

thanks Albert! I just need to buy the 600mm f4 GM :-)

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

go go go :D

[@Hsukhaybir]

Good job Albert! Thanks for the informations I’ve been using PhotoPills for a while and learned new something today .. do you use manual focus for these shots to get max DOF .. I find it somewhat challenging to use AF because if I focus on the subject the moon will be somewhat soft even at f8.

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

The moon will never be 100% sharp. But if you stand far enough and stop down a bit, it's close. That's why I shoot at f14 on some of these.

[@mikegordonbrasov161]

thnaks. is the focus on the moon, or focus on the foreground subject? or is it hyperfocal?. Any stack necesary, or single shot? Thank you again👋

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

Always on the subject, not the moon.

[@mikegordonbrasov161]

@AlbertDrosPhotography thank you👍

[@JapiSandhu]

wowwwwwww

[@RICHARDWATSONPHOTO]

Great work Albert. Do you focus stack these to have the moon fully sharp or is one image ok? Something I've yet to try out

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

I almost never do that actually. If you're shooting at 600mm+ it's difficult to focus stack because the moon is moving very fast. So you mostly want to close down the aperture a bit. Always focus on the foreground subject. The moon might be slightly out of focus, but the photo will look totally fine.

[@RICHARDWATSONPHOTO]

@@AlbertDrosPhotography thanks!! so it's a matter of the moon being 'acceptably' sharp? enjoy Scotland 👍🏻👍🏻

[@hoffotonl]

Maybe a stupid question. But will the height (position) of the photographer changing how you see the the moon. So if you stand on a high building instead of the road will the moon pass the church at another angle?

[@johnkreukniet4883]

Hallo Albert, Ik heb maar een 400mm dan toch iets dichter bij gaan dan die 1 km? Groetjes John

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

ligt er ook aan hoe groot je de maan wil, hoe groot het gebouw op de voorgrond is etc. Je kunt op het eind een aantal shots zien met voorbeelden. Die van de kerk in Amsterdam is bv maar 450mm. Die van Zaltbommel nog niet eens.

[@end_theinflu]

im done, I can't take a photo like this, when I want to see the moon, the rest is black, the foreground is always dark. I use a Sony 200-600, I also have a TC x2, maybe I need a 70-200 with better light? :(

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

This has nothing to do with the lens. I think I explained in the video: You need to shoot the moon when its close to the horizon and when its full. During these timings the sky is not that dark yet, so you will have enough dynamic range to work with. The problem you're describing is when the moon is already too high up in the sky, and the sky is already too dark.

[@end_theinflu]

@@AlbertDrosPhotography thank You🔥❤️

[@benc2798]

How to keep the moon color yellow like seen by naked eyes? When I zoom in, the moon becomes light gray.

[@AlbertDrosPhotography]

You probably have your camera on auto white balance when that happens. Simply use manual WB, usually shade or cloudy!
