Location

Not sure exactly where I took this photo but most of my moon photos are taken over Lake Ray Hubbard in Garland, TX.

Time

This was just after the moon came up. I like to capture the moon when it is red, orange, yellow, then eventually, white.

Lighting

No lighting was used.

Equipment

I have a Nikon D7100 and although I can take a photo like this without a tripod, I normally use one. I also use a Sigma 500mm lens. It's nicknamed the Bigma.

Inspiration

I love all of God's creation and the moon is certainly one of them. I actually prefer a half moon so that the craters can easily be seen. I do try to capture all of the Blood Moons, Honey Moons, Eclipses, Harvest Moons, etc.

Editing

I don't really do much processing.

In my camera bag

I have numerous lenses but only need my 500mm when taking photos of the moon.

Feedback

It helps to be still. If you can't, you a tripod. I set my camera on the lowest F-Stop and speed at 64000.
