Capturing the Moon: A Guide to Lunar Photography

CAPTURING THE MOON: A GUIDE TO LUNAR PHOTOGRAPHY Who hasn’t been awed by a beautiful moon in the night sky and wanted to photograph it, only to be disappointed by the glowing blob result? On Monday, July 7, Redlands Camera Club will offer a program, open to the public, to help photographers capture the moon in glorious detail. This presentation will explore the fundamentals of lunar photography—covering the best phases to shoot, ideal weather conditions, and how to plan your shot using helpful apps and tools. RCC President Bruce Herwig will explore camera settings that yield the best results and offer tips on exposure, focus, and white balance.

In addition, tips will touch on focal length and composition. Participants will learn how to avoid common mistakes like overexposure or blur and discover how to shoot a sharp moon with detail in the craters. Photographing the moon can be both a rewarding and surprisingly accessible experience for photographers at any level who are informed with the pointers to be delivered in this program. This free presentation of the Redlands Camera Club is open to the public and takes place at First Presbyterian Church in Redlands. Find parking and the entrance at 105 South Fourth Street. A social time will begin at 6:30pm with the program beginning at 7:00. The program will also be shared digitally via Zoom.
