This Sunday 27 from 22 the moon will enter its perigee, the point of the orbit where it is closest to Earth, only 357,000 kilometers. Being so close, you will see between 13 and 14% larger than usual, which is worth the phenomenon called “super moon”.
But besides proximity, will be what is called a lunar eclipse: Earth’s shadow projected on the TV when the planet comes between the moon and the sun. Unlike solar eclipse (when the moon is between Earth and the sun, hiding the latter), the lunar eclipse is not clear, but it looks reddish or orange. The reason: the way in which the atmosphere reflects sunlight
Of course, a good photo of this spectacular moon will be the pride of any Instagram account.. But photographing the moon is not easy and often, especially if a single Celular phone image of a spot in the sky get used.
These three tips can be useful to get a good super moon photo without using professional photographic equipment:
(1) The exhibition : Most smartphones and pocket cameras have a night photography mode makes that exposure is longer (the camera shutter remains open longer, to capture light). This is ideal for shooting stars or nightscapes. But the moon is a huge source of light, so that exposure should be short. Some phones allow you to adjust these settings manually.
To make the image blurry or no blurring is essential that the camera is very quiet. Ideal use a tripod or solid surface. Often, to support the camera on a hard surface, it moves like accidentally pressing the shutter. The best way to avoid this is to use the timer for the photo shoot automatically and avoid touching the camera
The time of the eclipse, red moon, is the best. To be darkest surface details are captured. Adjust brightness and then apply some filters serve to highlight those details
(2) A little increased . The portable cameras have two levels of zoom: optical and digital . Cellular lack optical zoom. The optical zoom is a game between two lenses, moving inside the camera, expand the image. The pocket cameras extend the zoom to the limit of its capacity and then applied optical digital magnification. The digital zoom makes the image loses definition, so it must be avoided at all costs, both in the use of cameras and phones. An alternative to get closer to the photo image is to shoot through a telescope or a good pair of binoculars
(3) composition interesting: Yes. zoom not allowed to take a close up shot of the moon, where the details of the lunar surface with craters and mountains are seen, it is best to incorporate a larger moon landscape. A black sky with a white circle in the middle is certainly a dull picture. How to improve it? Waiting for the moon down towards the horizon. Photograph in context, near trees or buildings, makes the more interesting take.
Sunday night
From 22 Sunday 27 at the Planetarium will have telescopes and screens to observe, for free, this astronomical phenomenon. According to estimates, at 22.07 hours, with the moon at 40 degrees above the horizon, will begin to descend into the umbra of the earth, so that with the passage of minutes, it will go covering red. The full eclipse will be at 23.11 and the maximum depth, the time the moon takes the darker red, will be at 23.47.
