[QUOTE="sOnIc, post: 198605, member: 15861"] I got a project/challenge for you: .. . [B]the Harvest Moon[/B] . .. Tomorrow (18th) and surrounding days, at approximately 6pm, almost exactly to the East, the Moon will rise looking large and colourful, a great photo opportunity. Looking large because of the perspective 'Moon illusion', and colourful because of the equinox sunset lighting and atmospheric reddening when low in the sky. This short youtube video explains everything and shows some examples of great photos: [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5GauJNCRJ4"]ScienceCasts: The Harvest Moon [/URL] More great example images: [URL="http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap070926.html"]one[/URL] - [URL="http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap110916.html"]two[/URL] - [URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/calle_l_8/9121407276/"]three[/URL]. These were taken with pretty big lenses looking at distant subjects; perfectly planned to get the Moon in the shot. But you don't need a massive lens to get a good picture, it's more about the composition and context. I'd recommend a web tool like [URL="http://www.skyviewcafe.com/skyview.php"]SkyViewCafe[/URL], or a [URL="http://www.rodurago.net/en/index.php?site=details&link=calendar&rck=2a9ee8b6850ba987a548b9296c26cab9"]lunar calculator[/URL], or an app like [URL="http://www.stellarium.org/"]Stellarium[/URL] to find out the exact time of Moon rise where you are, and the exact direction so you can plan the scene; using foreground objects to make the shot. Best of luck to anyone who has a go, it's pouring down with rain here at the moment : ( [/QUOTE]
