To photograph the moon:
1. Use a tripod! A flat surface will only allow you to shoot straight, and shooting the moon means that you'll be shooting up and constantly re-adjusting the tripod as the moon moves throughout the night. 2. Use a shutter release cord, remote or the camera's self timer if you don't have one, so that you don't move the camera when pressing the shutter release during a long exposure. 3. Use a zoom lens and zoom in as much as you can to the moon. It's okay if it's not a super fancy lens, this was shot using a 15 year old $100 lens. Focus in on the craters and details on the moon. 4. ISO 1250- 1600, so that you can use as fast a shutter speed as you can without losing detail-the longer the shutter speed, the more chances you have the camera will shake even slightly in the wind, resulting in an out of focus photograph. 5. Aperture priority of f/5.6 since you are not worried about capturing any details other then the moon. 6. Bracket your exposure, meaning over expose and underexpose the photograph from what the camera is telling you. Generally the camera will overexpose the moon, so you'll get nothing but a white blob in the sky. Use the exposure compensation button (the +/- button below the shutter release) and change the exposure to -0.5, then -1.0, then -1.5 and so on, until you start seeing detail in the moon. You may go as far as -5.0 exposure compensation to get what you need. 7. Take a fair amount of photos and keep refocusing as the night progresses. The photographs may look focused on the camera's display, but you won't really see if they're completely in focus until you upload them onto your computer screen. BALANCE If you were to print this photograph out and cut it in half, you would have to symmetrical photographs. That is what makes this a perfect example of balance. Balance is portrayed through the symmetrical proportion of a photograph. PROPORTION This picture represents proportion perfectly. Proportion often occurs when there is a small subject on top of a large scale. The bird is tiny compared to its surroundings, making this proportion. RHYTHM Movement is captured in this photograph. While looking at this picture you automatically notice the birds wings and you feel like you can see the bird flying through the air. Also, you can see the flag in the background waving. That is what makes this picture successful. EMPHASIS This picture emphasizes the bright pink color of the flower. It makes the color pop and attracts our eyes to the main subject. This picture is successful because while looking at it, you only notice the flower and not the background. HARMONY I find this picture very harmonious. The colors in her earrings and hair make the picture very soothing. There is no harsh colors or intense subjects. It is successful because the subject of the photo brings no tension to the picture. VARIETY This picture is a good example of variety due to the mix of colors, shapes, and subjects in the photograph. This mural is a perfect example of variety and the background is very calm so it makes it successful in the variety aspects of things. UNITY This picture shows unity because everything looks like it is in place and natural. The lighting id natural and thats one thing that makes it successful.
