another attempt at shooting the moon
Whenever I have my camera with me, I always try to take a photo of the Moon. Several times, with a hand-held camera, I didn't like the photos I got. I even blogged about my last failed attempt. I concluded that to have a clear shot of the Moon with my camera, I need to get it stabilized on a tripod.
While at the 18th Philippine International Hot-Air Balloon Fiesta, I noticed the waxing gibbous Moon and thought that the conditions were right to have another try at taking its photo. After all, I hadn't tried Julian Cribb's advice yet.
Lo and behold, Mr Cribb was right! I was able to take a decent photo of the Moon at last!
Look, Ma, no tripod!! |
The Moon wasn't exactly low in the sky when I got this image; it was hovering over Mt Arayat when I noticed it. But it wasn't too bright yet, so I was able to capture the dark spots on the Moon's surface.
Nice pic!!! What make the background of the picture blue?
ReplyDeleteThanks! The sky was still that shade of blue when I took this photo. I think this was shot about an hour before sunset.
