No problem at all, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
I took some nice shots of the moon last night which was high up in the sky and very bright. I used the spot metering which gave great results.
Hi Paul, brilliant, yes spot metering works well, out of interest, what readings did it give you? Thank you for watching, stay safe Dave
Straight to the point. Great! Will try this on tonight's full moon.
Hi Gary, I'm glad the video was useful, good luck photographing the full moon. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Very useful vedio..👌
Hi Fairy Land, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
Thank you so much! I got a pic of the Friday the 13 Supermoon because of this! Love from the US ❤️
That is fantastic, I am glad the video is useful. Strangely enough I am currently in the US, touring California! Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Nice! I'm here watching this video because my moon shots on the 13th didn't work. Now the hard part is waiting for another clear night in Oregon to try this. lol
I get perfect moon shots as follows: 200 ISO, Aperture priority, F5.6 or 6.1, single point focus focused directly on the moon, EV 3 or 4 stops under. This is the key, the underexposure. The bright light of the moon gives you plenty fast of a shutter speed to hand hold, tripod even better. In post production do minimal adjustments. A little on exposure or highlights. That's it. Perfect every time.
Excellent, with a aperture of F:5.6/F:6.1 and the EV 3 or 4 stops down you are at the same exposure as using F:11 with no EV changes. You basically end up with the same settings used in the video. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Canon T7i 55-250mm lens, I followed your instructions and got great shots (for that lens), thanks for making this video short and straight to the point.
No problem, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Brilliant I watched this video went outside and wow great tips it's great when I find someone here that's explains it so I can understand it. 👍👍👍
Hi TJB, that is brilliant! I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
OMG!!!! Thank you so much Sir..... Finally .....
Hi Tanmoy, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
I've tried a lot of settings on my Nikon D7200.. The best is iso 200 , Shutter 1/125 and f11
Yes, that would work well. It is one stop difference from the videos suggestions. I tend to go for a slightly darker image to bring out a bit more detail when editing. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
good for any lunar phase?
for handheld cam at max zoom, i keep shutter speed faster than 1/320 s, usually 1/400 or 1/500 s, to prevent blur from cam shake.
i use max aperture and iso 400 or less, depending on the phase.
I would agree with you. Your exposure would be the sunny 16 rule. 1/125sec @ f/11 would have the same exposure value (EV number) as 1/250 @ f/16 with an ISO of 200. In the past with film cameras I have used the sunny 16 rule for photographing the Moon and I came out fine. The same incident light coming from the sun to the Moon is about the same incident light that is coming from the sun to the Earth. The Earth is 93 million miles from the sun and our Moon is only about a 1/4 of a million miles from the Earth.
Can i do this in Nikon D5600???
sahil sahani yes
Thank you so much for the great tip. I just took the first shoot from my car... my husband driving and the picture of the moon looks beautiful.! Love it... tear up... I definitely will fallow u...
No problem at all, I am glad the video was useful. thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Tip #3 needs a caveat. With really long focal lengths, upwards of 400-500mm, the rotation of the Earth can and will move the Moon out of your viewfinder within a minute or two.
Tip #3 needs another caveat. When you are using a tripod, if your camera allows for mirror lockup, then use it. Your images will be much sharper, especially if you are using a very long focal length lens.
When it comes to camera settings, it is best to set White Balance to daylight. After all, the Moon is reflecting pure sunlight.
Also, use the same Looney 11 exposure rule irregardless of what phase the Moon is in. The only difference between a full Moon and a quarter Moon is how much is visible. There is no difference in brightness.
Finally, the Apollo astronauts described the color of the Moon as being the color of street asphalt, which has been covered with grey ashes similar to what might come out of BBQ grill.
Thank you for the additions all good points.
thank you so much sir
awesome settings
Hi NJ Vlogs, no problem, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
Great tips! I'm very satisfied with the photos! Thank you!
Hi Josh, that is great I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.

No problem at all, I hope your Moon photos turn out great. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
@@ThePhotoShow FYI, with your help, it turned out great!
Brilliant, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Fantastic) big like 👌🏼👍🏼
Glad you liked it. thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Thank you, I will put this to the test tonight, there will be a harvest moon.

Just applied your tips of the Lunar 11 rule and they worked! Thank you so much for posting this video, David! 😎😎
Hi Christopher, that is great, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
Yes, this will definitely help me this evening. Simple. Thank you, sir.
No problem at all, I am glad the video is useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
OMFG FINALLY! Someone who teaches so I can understand. Do you have online classes? I had Lyme Disease in my brain and nervous system and caused brain damage. Very hard for me to learn new things now.
Hi Nicolenya, thank you for your kind comments, I am really glad that the videos are useful. Hopefully I will have some online class available in 2018. You are very inspiring and I am happy that you are pushing forward and doing something you obviously enjoy. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Respect to Nicolenya! And great suggestion..
Dear Photo Show, please make a straight to the point, informative online course like this video, this year!
There are plans for an online course and possibly an e-book. I will keep everybody posted. Thank you for watching, have fun Dave.
Hello. I know a person that had and is managing this, just 1, and she is very pretty also, as you are from what I can see of your picture. How weird for me though, every time so far in my life that I hear of this disease it seems to be striking The pretty girls.
I don't know why sometimes I have to write when I see a comment or post. It's not that often and as I stated, and never about Lymes till now, something just struck a wave in me when I saw your eye. I hope things are Going well for you and your Ups far outweigh your downs.
Was it really necessary top blaspheme God to make your point? Really?
Simple when you how! Thanks. I use matching Iso to speed on birds in flight as well.
Liked the f11 rule. Learning all the time. Thanks for sharing
No problem at all, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Amazing tips and straight to the point tutorial. Thank you!
Thank You! Thank You! This improved my shots of the moon by 1000%
No problem at all, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave
It worked out amazingly good...
That is fantastic, glad it all worked.
I just shot the moon by your tips, I like it, my 300mm did a nice work, expanded to 100 and cropped after that. So far so good. Thanks.
Thanks. Went from tube light to some decent moon pic.
I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
Rule #5 that is all i need...Thanks man
1/60 F8 and ISO 100, Works a treat. And if you want to stack your images, Registax is free. Get version 5 then upgrade it to version 6. Old software but works a treat.
Hi Richard, that would work, the lunar 11 rule is just a good way to remember settings that will give a good result. I have tried the Registax and got some good results. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Excellently explained -and thank you for the F11 rule!!!
Hi Andy, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Well done.
Thank you very much, I'm glad it was useful. have fun, Dave.
Thank you this helped
Hi Jessica, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Thank you sir for sharing this video I found it most informative and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge on how best to go about it.
No problem at all. I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Hi congrats!! Mexican here with bad english, Last night I took pictures of the (before and during) the 20th January 2018 eclipse, before the eclipse the moon was 100% iluminated I decided to use the f/13 rule and the results were perfect, maybe it was more illuminated or the camera is doing weird setings or simply my pictures are slightly underexposed Lumixfz150
I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Great video. It did help and I was finally able to take a good photo of the moon with luney 11 rule.
Hi Mo, that is brilliant I am really glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
can't wait to try this out. you're Awesome!!!! :D I've always wanted to photograph the moon but didn't know how. So glad I found your channel!
Brilliant, let me know how you get on, Dave.
Thank you very much. Was able to click good pictures thru cannon 1200 200 lens
No problem at all, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
@@ThePhotoShow thanks infact I need to learn lot of things from you Dave. Cheers Aviator
Thank you very much, Dave.
Brilliant video, thank you
No problem, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
I’m just getting started and I’m using a small telescope and an iPhone X! It’s working out better than I would expect!
Cellphone, telescope photography is wonderful. I've been at it, over a decade now...🐰😷🌈
Wonderful video
I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Worked 🤟🤟👍
Hi Armaan, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave
Thanks so much! Short and very informative...
No problem at all, I am glad the video was useful. thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Great tips. This Wednesday, 1/31/2018 is a rare lunar event that hasn’t happened since 1866: a super moon; blue moon; and a blood moon (red eclipse) all at the same time. I was looking for some tips to make sure I could capture it. Thanks!
No problem at all. Wednesday Super, blood, blue Moon should be great. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
thats exactly what i'm doing!
Wow.. Thanks . 🌚🌚
Hi Shane, no problem I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
great tips! my dslr is prime on an 8" SC Telescope. Its f10, but i will def try and check the lunar rule out
Excellent, the settings should still give great results, f10 may give a slightly brighter image but you could always adjust the shutter speed or ISO to compensate. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Great video. Thanks for the advice
THANK YOU!! I am new to DSLR cameras and this was the only video that helped me. Keep it up 👏🏼
Hi Alivia, no problem at all, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.

Great video! Gives me a good enough reason to wake up at 4 in the morning and pull out my camera :) Thanks.
It should be worth it, there are a couple of full Moons in January as well. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
The Photo Show like January 1st
In the UK there will be one on the 2nd of January and another on the 31st.
Always use spot metering
It's the most accurate way of exposing
And use ISO to control brightness.
Hi Karl, yes spot metering does work, with the Moon being fairly consistent in brightness the Luna 11 rule is just a quick and easy way to get great photos. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Thank you and yes it does work!
No problem at all, I am glad it worked for you. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
hi..thanks a lot for the simple but powerful tips...worked wonders!!!
Hi Ashwin, no problem at all, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Thanks so much for this awesome vid mate :-)
No problem at all, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Thanks for a very short and right to the point video Dave. On this chilly bone freezing cold night, I used a Nikon kit lense at f/11 (as per your video) 300mm focal length and ISO200 but doubled the shutter speed to 1/400 and shot raw. The image came out great. On a side note, what's your recommendation for a prime lense for portrait photography? I am torn between 50mm f/1.8 and f/1.4 or do you have recommendation for something better? Cheers from Canada :)
Hi Rohit, I am glad the video was useful and your Moon photos worked out. Either of the 50mm lenses are great I would also have a look at the Sigma and Tamron options such as the Sigma 50mm f1.4 DG HSM Art - Nikon Fit. Great quality lenses are cheaper than the Nikon ones. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave
Thank you!
I used an Olympus e-pl5, and a 50-175mm OM zuiko that I added with an adapter, and played with settings until I got it! My ISO won't go below 200, shutter speed I couldn't find, but I placed the timer on 2 secs. And my focus was all the way CCW. I dunno, but somehow I got it! Just had to blow it up on the computer.
Hi Mike, whatever does the job and works is great. Thank you for watching, stay safe, Dave.
Good Video.
thanks for the refresher course, I hope to capture the eclipse tonite with Canon rebel t6 with 350mm zoom lens
I think I will try this great tips thanks
No problem at all. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
thak u so much sir...i treid a lot bt cant without tripod...bt your advice make this done
Hi Al, no problem at all, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
thank you Sir, quick and precise. Subscribed ;-)
My pleasure, glad it was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Whoo Hoo! already helping more since you have just stated that 200 Minimum! You didn't say that , at least that i recall on the last video I watched . so i am going to look for the longest I can afford, used or at an estate sale or whatever. :0) and I will be getting a better tri pod , not happy with the crap one I have now. LOL
Thanks again.
this cam i have here now is a 100% brand new but from what i understand is a beginner dsl. still is the best i have ever had. it's the t5 cannon.
Hi Larry, glad this helped more. It is worth looking at Tamron and Sigma lenses, they make some zooms that go up to 500/600mm at a much lower price than Canon or Nikon. Even better if you can find used versions. Have fun, Dave.
Brilliant. Thanks. Got good moon. ☺
Excellent, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
You’re the best thanks...
No problem at all. i am glad the video was useful. Enjoy photographing the Moon, thanks for watching, Dave.
Simple lucid instructions. Thanks
No problem at all, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
ill try it next full moon. thanks a lot.
No problem at all. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
This helped a lot thank you
No problem at all, I am glad the video was useful. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Thank a lot Great Tops which work.
Tried your advise with Nikon D810 + 400mm Lens Perfect resulting exposure of the Moon
Using the camera Timer with mirror up for non shake photos.
After a few white discs before I saw you blog for advise |

Hi Jayden, that's brilliant, I am glad the video was useful. If you post the photos online drop me a link. Thank you for watching, have fun, Dave.
Have you ever seen the us flag that was planted up there in any of your photos?
