Behind The Lens

Location

I took this image from my front yard in Masury Ohio.

Time

The time was between 9 and 11pm.

Lighting

Except for the street light down the block, the moon was the only light.

Equipment

I used a Canon Eos 5I with a Canon 75/300 telephoto lens on manual set at 300. Mounted on a pro tripod.I did not use a flash.it was a

Inspiration

I am a nature lover and I enjoy capturing solar images. When they said on the news we would see a strawberry moon between 9 and 11pm that night I went out and set things up. I chose many angles and then picked the one that captured best what I was after.I put my equipment away.

Editing

Yes,I uploaded into Lightroom,added some clarity and contrast.Then I tweaked the shadows and blacks and reduced the noise.

In my camera bag

I carry either a Rebel t3i or a Rebel t5i a flash unit , my Canon 75/300 mmlens, a Canon 18/250mm macro lens and a reg lens., some filters and 2 SD CARD'S.I MINI TRIPOD AND MY PRO TRIPOD. I ALSO Have a shutter remote

Feedback

When doing this type of photography, it is always best to use a good tripod and a remote.. Find an area with as little light as possible other than the moon . you need to take many images from multiple angles and make adjustments to the settings until you reach what you desire. Then use post processing to improve the image if needed.do not be afraid of criticism it can only help you improve..
