The total moon is without doubt one of the maximum breathtaking attractions within the sky, and but the general public in finding shooting fascinating footage of it to be an incredibly tricky problem.

I want to see your moon shots! Tag them #JoshuaCrippsPhotography on Instagram
This is one of the best videos I have seen that has practical, useful advice for shooting great full moon pictures. Thank you very much!
So glad I found your channel! 😁
Rubbish and not usefull
Something free comparable to photopills ?
I was daunted by #photopills and didn't use it for a long time. Then I found this video, "How to Plan a Photo of the Next Full Moon with a Building" which gave me enough of a step-by-step to actually be finally useful. Afraid it makes me into a sun and moon chaser all around town now:)
You are talking about images at moonrise/set at sunrise/set yes the sun will brighten the foreground. Now to do it at night with just city lights or out the middle of nowhere first it is small when using a camera lens, no lens will have the moon big and bright like you see it with a foreground that you can see. To get the moon sharp and infocus with any lens from 10mm to 600mm even a full frame 1800mm. Yes you need to bracket. First set camera to SS/ISO 125 and manual focus zooming using sharpening of f/8 to f/11 you will see as you adjust. Have camera set to 5 images at +/- 3ev (or 2ev a lot of HDR software have problems with 3ev) and then set center bracket start at .5s this will give 5 images where the first image will be in focus but everything around is dark but the last image 30s will have the foreground bright. Using Lr HDR you will have a moon in focus and bright and a foreground bright. Easy to do with a Sony But for Canon/Nikon with only a +/- 2ev you can use the Promote Control that you attach to your camera. The hardest part is Ghosting between images if not fast enough. As long as SS/ISO remain the same increasing SS/ISO will reduce ghosting. The awesome capture is with earthshine on the crescent moons dark area happens at moon set after the sun has set for some time.
Informative stuff here.
I learned something too. Yay!!!
I've been an astronomer for over, oh……50 years. And you mentioned that our nearest neighbor movies its own diameter approximately every 160 seconds. I don't know why I didn't know that. But.
I DO NOW. Thanks, dude .
I'm basically an optical observer, or visual actually is a better term. But I'm trying my hand at some Afocal astrophotography. Not really wanting to invest in a quality dedicated CCD camera I have a Canon sx40 HD and a Fuji Finepix S1500 .
Gonna try the Canon for some lunar, Milky Way photos and maybe some Star Trails too. Maybea DSLR and a " T " Ring later? Good video though.
I've been an amateur astronomer for 30 years or more. Visual observation only but now I'm really wanting to try some astrophotography.
I have a Fuji FinePix S1500, a Sony T77 Cyber Shot cameras.
Neither can have an adaptor attached so I can mount them directly to my telescopes. I have to go with the afocal method. Not all that easy to do.
Any tips? I have a proper mount to hold the camera to the eyepiece but getting good focus is near impossible.
omg that intro is so accurate
4:41 Thank you. Exactly what l was looking for. It would be so easy if you could just temporarily dimm the moon…
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve always been taking photos of the moon but they’ve always been very samey, this is so easy to follow as well 🙂
This is the video I want about moon photography! Thank you for this video🙋🏻♂️
When photographing the Moon with a zoom lens, what shutter speeds are you using to keep it sharp? It moves 'faster' when it's zoomed. Thanks!
Heading out tonight for the full Moon, so came and watched this again for a refresher! Don't want to screw it up! #obsessed
I dont care about trees in the pic or mountains. Your first moon foto was overexposed because you wanted the mountains bright enough. The moon by itself is way more interesting. IMHO
Wow same lens I use . with a Nikon Z7ii
Nope I’m less than 2 minutes in and can’t take anymore of this guy’s presentation.
I have a nikon p900 and it's great for the moon itself but I'm having a heck of a time getting anything decent with it in a landscaped setting.
Hahaha !!! Great way to begin your video 📸 big hugs from Chile.
Inspirational -thank you for a great tutorial your advice will save me a lot of wasted time trying to work out how to get good results-one of the best presentations I have seen
All excellent points. Thank you!
I couldn't agree more about the moon by itself. Every time we have one of these special moons, we are inundated with photos of a moon in a black field which to me is lacking a great deal. Great video!
Great video!
Terrific stuff. I tried this yesterday, but it was cloudy and there wasn't a full moon and it was daytime……
Just came across your channel and subscribed Josh. It would be nice to have someone like you shooting the moon. You know your moon stuff well.
Very informative and entertaining video! I'm heading to Southern Utah this September and hope to get some descent full moon image while in Arches NP. Is your only video on shooting the full moon?
What your tips?
Incredible information. I really bomb out on night shoots. I study and plan but so far have never had a YAHOO moment. This video has rattled my cage and I will putting more effort in. Excellent video Joshua. Thank you.
great video Joshua. What is on the lens and why at 7:00? It looks like a bag of rice or something.
Is there a handy-dandy rule for photographing the moon similar to the sunny-16 rule under normal conditions? Maybe a lunar-11 rule?
Great tips Joshua, thanks for sharing.
I tried shooting the full moon the other night after watching your video and your tips were sensational! Thank you so much!
Josh, I shot my shot of the super moon rising over Raleigh NC at sunset (along with my photo club… I’ve tagged the photo in instagram as you suggested). I still had issues getting the correct exposure even doing it at this time. I still had to bracket with extreme under exposure to get the details and then combined in post. Am I missing something? I used my 70-200 (at 70 ) because we couldn’t get back any further due to city restrictions (it was literally taken on a bridge over a railroad).
Having just re-activated my passion for photography, I really laughed out loud at "that sucks!" LOL With the Scorpio Moon having just presented itself to the world on April 26th, I took well over 200 photos of it, never having taken moon photos before. I was pleasantly surprised and gifted with many that were stunning, but just as many ended up like your "that sucks!" moon. This is a fabulous vlog. Thanks so much.
Yes it is . Lovely by itself
Great video! Love your tips! Thank you so much!
Excellent video, thank you
Thanks Josh, I've been obsessed with mastering my full moon photography for a while now, still a work in progress, all the tips I can learn from the masters will help me step up my game. Off to do a dry run now for a shot hopefully this evening, clear sky permitting!
Thank you! Very helpful.
I have some experiences recently shooting the moon and based on those experiences, I know you summed up all the most important tips and details a photographer needs to know. I’ve watched a lot of photography tutorials and you’re the best and the smartest guy IMO. Thanks so much!
Thank you for this awesome video not only informative but funny too 🤣🤣loved it
I'm a hobbyist photographer, so I won't spend a lot on equipment. I got the Sony rx10 iii. It's great for travel and has a 24-600 zoom. I've gotten some great moon shots with it.
Always enjoy your videos, but jeez that intro made me laugh. Enjoyed the rest of the video, as always, too. Cool tips.
Good one, Joshua. I've had trouble getting started with PhotoPills, so I appreciate the augmented reality tip. I will tag a couple of my full moon shots.
What's the idea with the thing on the lens around 7.00? Does it stabilise the long lens or what it just used as a shelf
