Full Moon Captured on a Phone with the help of a Zoom lens. Next time I would want to capture with a Telescope.
During the Lunar eclipse, though the color change was not visible in India, the full moon was equally beautiful and felt very near. I was traveling in a local train and it felt like the moon was playing hide n seek with humans. Hiding behind the towers and peek at times.
Few Tips to remember while capturing moon with a phone camera,
1. Try to find a good Zoom lens that can be clipped to the lens.
2. Get a gorilla pod or tripod for support as the zoom lens are heavy and even a slight shake would make the whole image blurry.
3. Adjust the focus manually to the moon for crisp output.
4. Keep the ISO around 250-500 depending on the sensor size, lower than that it might be difficult to focus.
5. Keep the shutter speed lower than 1/250 and set at least 3sec timer for capture to avoid any blur.
This is brilliant! How did you manage to capture this by phone only? Which phone did you use? I have never managed to take a moon photo with my phone, but I’ll follow your tips next time. Did it take a long time to get the perfect shot?
I was having the same experience as you earlier. Having an understanding about the limitations of the phone camera, I took help of external clip on lens for achieving this.
Yes it took around 15 min to setup and get a good shot. Perfect shot is still pending
By the way I used Oneplus 6T. All the best for your attempt
I agree with you because I am also passionate about photography and I know that sometimes it takes time to capture the perfect photo but it deserves it.
