Mid-Autumn Festival photography skills 1. Close-up of the moon
For Xiao Bai, who has just started, shooting close-ups of the moon is a good experience opportunity. How to shoot a clear surface of the moon is also a very particular thing.
1. Equipment preparation: telephoto
Because it is a full moon night, we must mainly shoot at night, so tripod is the first necessary camera accessory in the list we need to prepare. As for the lens, I suggest you choose a super telephoto lens. You don't necessarily need many large aperture telephoto fixed-focus lenses, but the longer the focal length, the better.
Prepare a super telephoto lens with a maximum focal length of 300 mm or more. When shooting the close-up of the moon, the ordinary telephoto lens of 70-200mm is still quite small even when shooting the surface of the moon at 200 ends, and a clear full moon can only be obtained by post-cutting, such as Canon's EF 100-400L IS II lens, Fuji's 100-400 lens and Nikon's.
2. Parameter setting
When shooting a full moon, the general parameters of the moon itself will be set at the aperture F8.0, ISO 100 and shutter 1/200. Although the shutter is at 1/250, due to the telephoto, the bulky lens is very prone to shake, so it is best to use it on a tripod.

Second, the combination of night scenes and portraits.
After mastering the skills of shooting the moon, you can continue to create your own works, add some series of compositions, and combine the scenery with the moon to create a unique work. This picture is more interesting than a simple close-up of the moon, and it will not be monotonous. Let's talk about the specific operation:
1, how to shoot: mainly depends on the later stage.
There are two mainstream ways to make the scenery and the full moon appear in the picture at the same time: 1, which can be directly imaged through long-time exposure, and 2, computer post-synthesis, which combines the scenery and the full moon PS into one.
A failed work
To shoot the scenery with the moon in one imaging, we must first deal with the' high brightness' of the moon. In the dark night sky, the moon becomes a bright lighting tool in the night sky due to the refraction of the sun, while the scenery is the opposite. Except for self-luminous buildings, most natural scenery is very dark, which is in sharp contrast with the moon, which is often called the highlight ratio. The solution is to shake the black card, ND filter, flash and other methods. It is quite difficult to calculate the brightness of the moon and the exposure time of the landscape. Finally, it may not be as good as computer-generated works and friends who like to toss. This method is fun.

Computer post-synthesis, pre-shooting requirements are relatively simple, we only need to prepare all the materials needed in the later stage.
Step 2 Prepare for work
First of all, we need a clear large-scale photo of the moon, followed by the foreground of the moon and the material of the characters. Even if you use the skills in the first step to take a clear picture of the moon, the shooting of foreground materials is not much different from the general night photos. Slightly different, the photos should be left blank, and space for the moon should be reserved.

Third, personalized studio photography works
In addition, you can also combine some moon-shaped props to shoot portraits, which is interesting!

In terms of shooting difficulty, this kind of theme has certain requirements for the later period. First, use a white light box instead of the moon when shooting. This effect can be achieved by shooting the original material and importing it into the computer and pasting the texture of the moon surface in PS.

In addition, on the X-Treasure, there is a luminous moon-shaped light box as a prop, which is cheap and the subject matter of shooting has also increased a lot, just like the above picture, as a prop and a gadget to create.

Written at the end: As the annual Mid-Autumn Festival in August 15, when shooting the moon, we also need to pay attention to the weather forecast, rain, fog, thick clouds on the dike, typhoon warning and other tips to avoid getting wet. Today, I will give you a brief explanation of the skills of shooting the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wish you a series of blockbusters.
