Last weekend the kids and I packed up the Jeep and set out for a little nighttime fun - gazing at the supermoon. We brought the telescope, which took me a good thirty minutes to figure out how to focus the darn thing so the kids could see the moon through it. And after a couple of turns each, the kids were done, their interest waning. The clouds rolled in and they ditched the telescope for the glow sticks.
For me, shooting the SUPERMOON was a great learning experience. Learning - as in, the moon really does travel quite fast believe it or not, and if your shutter speed is not set to a quick capture, you'll end up with oblong shaped glow - instead of a perfectly symmetrical sphere. Which was also part of the problem with the telescope - the moon was moving too quickly and I couldn't keep up with it. Haha!
My longest lens is only 135mm and I knew I wasn't going to be able to capture some of the amazingly detailed images taken with something much more ideal - like 400mm or greater . But, I knew there were still many different and creative ways I could give a try... and, here's a variety of my favorite captures.
Happy Thursday!
XOXO - Jess
