Entry 1 by Tiffany1000 for Moon Photography Assignment - #86

The March full moon is called "The Seed Moon"

Is a model release on file for all recognizable people?

N/A

What day was the photo taken?

March 18th

Photo Description

I've learned that dusk is a better time to take photos of the full moon. I am more successful capturing the craters of the moon at that time. Perhaps it is my camera, but when I experiment with taking photos of the moon when its pitch black, I only get a glowing orb. I also like to include some of the scenery. I find the moon alone to be a boring image.

Lessons Learned

  • Experiment taking your photos of the moon in the late afternoon and at dusk
  • F8
  • tripod
  • incorporate scenery into your image
