I was trying to get a good picture of the Super Moon. When I started viewing them on my computer, I found this shot of an airplane flying right in front of the moon. I didn't even notice it while I was actually taking the shot. I love this one & couldn't believe how lucky I got.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken above a baseball stadium in Buford, Georgia as I was enjoying a ball game.

Time

This shot was taken about 8pm on an evening when we were experiencing a Super Moon. I took several shots. While I was looking at the pictures on the computer, I discovered the plane flying in front of the moon.

Lighting

I wanted this shot to focus mainly on the shadows and crevices in the moon.

Equipment

I used my trusty old Canon T2i with a 55-250mm 1:4-5.6 IS lens.

Inspiration

Naturally, the huge, beautiful Super Moon was the only inspiration for this photo.

Editing

The processing I used was only to sharpen the image and highlight the shadows and crevices.

In my camera bag

I normally have the T2i, a 55-250mm lens and a 25-55mm lens. I am but a poor novice photographer who can't afford a lot of equipment.

Feedback

Simply to experiment as much as possible with your camera settings and lenses to get the images you desire.
