Moon Photography for Beginners - How to photograph the moon with a Nikon or Canon DSLR Camera

[@hermanrich2953]

WHY would any one give the thumb down to this video??? this video is so comprehensive easy to understand by a very likeable person

[@photogenius]

Thank you kindly Herman ($20 in the post) 😀 Appreciate the feedback and support for my channel. Paul @ Photo Genius.

The people that disliked this couldn’t figure out Manual mode

[@yorgenthesmorgen4405]

Those dislikes are Australians tryna like.

[@williamdonnelly6635]

The very evening I watched this photo, I took pictures of the moon using your instructions. My wife and I were simply amazed! Absolutely brilliant! Perfect exposures. I am 72 years old and was so happy with what I had learned! Thank you, thank you!!

[@photogenius]

You are very welcome William, glad you got a great result. Best wishes. Paul @ Photo Genius

[@casualdude9995]

That smile that I had on my face after shooting the moon clear for the first time in my life after wanting it to do since childhood! Priceless. Thank you man! Loved your tutorial. It worked perfect.

[@newjersey1029]

Perfect tutorial. Thanks ✔️

[@PeterGaunt]

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]

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

[@scottyplug]

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

[@thabstract0ne]

The amount of tips I've learned from you over the past 2yrs is RIDICULOUS! Thank you!

[@CozyJJ0213]

Taking a photo of the moon is what inspired me to get a camera. I can't wait to get it and start my journey in photography.

[@BlackPDigitalMedia]

this is my first time going completely manual thanks to this video.. i might actually sign up for a class now

[@skylarmeadows492]

SAME !! I ORDERED MY CAMREA TODAY !!

[@HR-wd6cw]

It will be fun, and challenging at times, but that's part of the fun of learning photography. And even many pro photographers will tell you you will always be learning something new (as Rick Sammon says, "You're a student for life.")

[@FLAMENCODELACOSTA]

Me too!

[@Angel-qf6if]

Me too! All though I think I need a bigger lens, I’m still getting the white blob😂

[@918ChevyGuy]

This is undoubtedly one of the best tutorials I've ever watch on Moon Photography.

[@Ken_James_SV]

I agree. I am an astrophotographer and I like the way he teaches people. Simple and to the point. Easy to follow and clearly explained. I totally agree with his methods.

[@photogenius]

Thanks Rob, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@photogenius]

Thanks @ BallaratDragon - very much appreciated.

[@pamelacarter7438]

I agree!

[@bigfoot.ranger68]

I just learned more from this one video than I have in the past two years trying to figure these settings out and what they mean. Thank you

[@abinbalachandran1619]

You are explaining everything in very detail without missing any settings. This is one of the best tutorial I’ve ever found in KZbin.

[@mumo9413]

Don't know about photo genius? You're the photo ORACLE! I'm learning SO much! Much appreciated!

[@photogenius]

Very happy to hear!

[@alismeewdunevar8823]

I have a learning disability that makes it harder to understand. So i just wanted to say thank you sir. You explain it very simple and take your time explaining and showing what to push. This video helped me so much since this is going to be my future career. I look forward to watching other videos you got for photography.

[@tobeetwo]

I'm a proficient photographer and this is the best video on moon photography i've seen. Paul covers all the bases with useful information, that's easy to understand. If you don't get good moon shots, then you are not doing what this tutorial is teaching. You need to cover all the points to get a great shot, and you will. Thanks for the info!!!!

[@photogenius]

Wow - thank you for the very kind words and great feedback. I really do appreciate the support 😀

[@trek98597]

You are SUPER GOOD at explaining things, especially for beginners like me. Thank you so much!

[@chrisfreeman430]

I just wanted to say thank you. I purchased my Nikon d5200 from a pawn shop and no manual. It came with a 55-300 zoom and i purchased a 500-1000 mm You answered all my questions on how to set up the manual shot in just this one video, can't wait to watch your other videos thank you so much sharing your knowledge and expertise. Your detailed and hands on demonstrations for me, were perfect!!. I understood how to operate it in seconds😊😊🙏 🙏 Sincerely Chris.

[@neilcole3406]

You really do make photography easier, so well explained, no gimmicks no bells and whistles, just straight forward teaching, cheers mate!

[@scotttaylor8530]

I'm an absolute newbie. This video was amazing to help me take my first moon photos! Love it!

[@lawrencewonch6493]

I've been a photographer since I was a kid, I'm now 62 and the digital world has left me behind, but your video was very enlightning! Thanks for the simple way of explaining the cameras.

[@nowitsokgaming5130]

Having used SLR (yes back in the FILM days), DSLR, and now mirrorless I don't consider myself a PRO but more like an experienced enthusiast. Now although having that experience I didn't learn anything from this video, BUT.... ... this is perhaps the BEST video I've seen explaining how to get a great photo of the moon, for a beginner or beginner who thinks they are not a beginner. Great job with this video, Paul.

[@ElFuchiEditor]

You are amazing man! Finally impressed my dad

[@joshuaravel]

One of the best channels on KZbin for learners like me.. you make everything so simple and easy to understand. No product placement or unwanted nonsense. Thank you so much..

[@minus1db]

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 :-)

[@alyssafox476]

I am in AWE of how detailed my photos of the moon came out after watching this video!! Thank you so much for the tutorial!

[@photogenius]

You are so welcome, glad you got some good shots. I've made another video about shooting the stars in the nigh sky, you may want to check that out next : kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGiWoKF8pKmpjLc 😀

[@joaobastos1634]

Same here. Feels like I know what I'm doing.

[@Graeme_Lastname]

@@joaobastos1634 I felt like that once. Not any more, still learning. ;)

[@user-jl5lh9mq2b]

I had a difficult time initially because I didn't have this exact Nikon. Once I figured out how to see my settings, in this + 20 year old camera, I was able to easily follow along and understand. Now I'm off to take a picture of our super blue moon. Thank you!!!

[@photogenius]

You are welcome, hope you got some great shots.

[@peterbarratt8699]

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.

[@photogenius]

Thanks for the tip Peter 👍

[@jcmbblues]

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. Knowing this I want to thank you for the effort and work that you are putting in this channel to help people like me. I found your videos absolutely amazing and the way you explain the content it’s absolutely great. Thank you so much and keep up the good things and the good work. I hope you are safe and sound where ever you are at the moment you read this comment. My sincerest and deepest greetings from the USA 📸

[@photogenius]

Thank you so much Jose, I really do appreciate the kind words and feedback and I'm happy you find the videos informative. The T7 is a great camera so I hope you are getting some great photos. Stay safe and best wishes to you from Brisbane. Paul @ Photo Genius.

[@paulwatson6894]

I was out at 3.10am the other morning taking photos of the moon, hopefully will see a great improvement now after seeing this video. Thanks

Paul, I'm a DSLR neophyte. I found your instruction to be extremely easy to follow & took the sensory overload away for me. I'm heading to Yellowstone & Grand Teton this weekend. I'm now excited about getting great moon photos! Thanks!!

[@VitalityMassage]

Mine came out best using 1/160 shutter speed on my Canon t5i. I have the 55-250 lens. Thanks!

Thanks for the support and the sub - welcome to the channel Paul 👏. Hope life is good in beautiful Florida.

[@richbrager12]

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.

[@dancriv4063]

Appreciate your channel and knowledge. Thanks for what you do

[@RobSalamander]

Very well done. Ive been needing to train in DSLR photography for about 8 years. This has just the right amount of talk and instruction. Very pleased and looking forward to shoot tonight’s moon. Thanks.

[@scottyplug]

Watched this, got my tripod out and camera all set up, but the moon is like literally directly overhead. I could maybe get the tripod to work, but then I couldn't see the screen or my viewfinder. I'd have to be lying down, practically. Cannot wait to try this when the moon is more cooperative! Thanks for such a simple and understandable tutorial.

[@scottyplug]

Well, I had high hopes. But these settings didn't really work for me. I only have a 70-200mm on my 5D Mark II, but the shots came out a little blurry and just not clear at all. Even in post I couldn't get them really clear like I wanted. Maybe the 200 is just not enough? Oh well. It's funny, with the same lens and camera just about a week ago I simply looked up and snapped a quick handheld near-sunset shot of the half moon and it came out great! Craters and all. I'll keep trying. I'm brand new to all of this.

I have been struggling with these issues, and getting the balance right for ages, and in just a few minutes of watching your video everything has suddenly clicked into place (if you'll pardon the pun) I didn't realise just how little I knew about my camera till now. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain this. For the first time I actually feel in control, instead of the camera controlling me....and it's a good feeling!!

[@bambino-i9p]

FINALLY!! Straight to the point for us beginners. What an absolute legend !!!

[@shutterbug49]

I’ve been taking moon shots for years. I wish I had seen this years ago. It would have saved me a lot of bad shots. I’ve had some success with with my Canon SX420 point and shoot with digital zoom but my best shots were taken with my T7 this February.

[@photogenius]

Thanks for watching the video and supporting my channel. The T7 is a great camera so I hope you also get some good shots of tonights supermoon.

[@shutterbug49]

@@photogenius too cloudy. Can't get a decent shot.

[@williamneuman7783]

I was able to shoot part of a lunar eclipse with a Kodak Z710 once I figured out how to play with the manual settings.

[@ervano798]

What i really like on your videos is the way how you explain and show it on Canon and Nikon cameras without making a difference between those two brands.I saw this on many of your videos.

[@lj4622]

Hey Paul wanted to thank you. This VDO really helped. I used a 55-250mm lens and was able to take a shot which came out good. Need to take more and practice but can't thank you enough for the simple explanations that you do that makes it so easy to understand. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your videos every time.

[@photogenius]

Thank you so much for your kind words LJ, I'm glad you got a great photo. Paul 😀

[@lindavandijk4334]

I have been taking moon photos with a small Canon point and shoot that has a manual setting. They turn out great, but I have a Canon DSLR that I would prefer to use. Knowing about digital zoom has opened up a great big night sky for me, so thank you!

[@photogenius]

Thank you Frank, I really appreciate the feedback 👍

[@annmolloy8600]

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!

[@MrRajBizzle]

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.

[@adude394]

Hugely helpful stuff here, and I'm glad I found it. I'm about to go outside right now and give this a try with my R6 Mk II and 100-500, and R5 with 200-800! Thanks for posting! EDIT: Took some shots tonight with the above cameras. I used your suggested settings, and save them as C3-Fv on both cameras. The results were excellent. Thanks again!

[@alexaclaven]

I like to use spot metering when photographing the moon. What metering mode do you recommend? Thank you

[@paganphil100]

Alexa Claven: I use spot metering and I also under-expose by two or three stops (for a full moon).

[@chriscorbin9565]

If you can get close enough that the spot meter fits withing the moon then moving settings until the meter is in the middle in manual mode or no exp comp in a semi auto mode will give an 18% grey exposure of the moon. Any metering mode will do the job but the place on tge meter or exposure comp will be different for each.

[@richardkemp4144]

A full Moon is basically pretty much the same brilliance. You're in the ballpark with the settings suggested. You just bracket a few shots either side and you'll get a good picture. There's no need to meter at all. The only thing I'd add to this tutorial is to set the white balance to daylight rather than auto.

[@weathervanee]

[@iancooper3396]

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.

[@rh8235]

Will this 75 - 300mm lens take good photos?

[@photogenius]

Absolutely.

[@ronlheureux7623]

I have had poor results for years shooting the moon. I own a D5100, either a 70/300 VRII zoom and a 55-300 VR, as well and a CF tripod currently with a pistol grip head. No more ball heads for me. I also have a remote and a center sandbag. I shot at f.11 and, as I recall, ISO 100. I’ve tries various shutter speeds over time with my D40, D70 and now my D5100. I did extend the center column, though and I’m not sure is I always turned off VR. I with this new information that you have given me I feel that I will finally achieve success Thank you, Mate!.

[@MoranGuyVideos]

Usually the problem is how to focus when you don't have full moon and air pollution especially near to the city / urban areas. best is to take in in desert when you have clear sky and full moon.

[@sabinaueblacker3740]

no air pollution these days due to lockdown!

[@rogertulk8607]

Excellent video! I bought a Canon T7 last fall (Spring to you! ) and fairly recently bought the 75 to 300 mm Zoom. I was encouraged to see that you are using the same lens to photograph the Moon. The weather should be good tonight; as long as the Moon is clear of the trees, I should be able to get a good picture. I also have a 1,000 mm telescope which I'm going to use it sometime in the future. I have used that already with my old Fujifilm camera.

[@photogenius]

Hope you managed to get some good shots, unfortunately here in Brisbane the clouds spoilt our view! I've made another video about shooting the stars in the nigh sky, you may want to check that out next : kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGiWoKF8pKmpjLc

Perfect balance of pace and repetition so that the message really sinks in. Thank you :)

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!
