Behind The Lens

Location

This picture was taken right outside my apartment door in Los Angeles on one of the many super moon nights we had in 2016.

Time

I wish I could be more specific with the date and time, but all I remember is coming home from work and a few hours later my mom called asking if I've seen the super moon. I opened my door and there it was; so beautiful in the early evening August sky. It had to be around 7:30pm / 8pm.

Lighting

I've always loved photography, but have never taken a class. I normally just grab my phone and take pictures, but this night I decided to try my hand with my Canon and play around with the apertures. When this one came out, I knew I had a great picture.

Equipment

I literally just used my Canon on night mode; no extra lens, no tripods, no flash.

Inspiration

How could I note be inspired by this lovely moon. I've always been fascinated with the moon, space, etc. When it looks like the moon has landed on earth, you can't help but want to capture the sight. Of course, this photo will never do what I saw with my naked eye justice, but it's pretty close.

Feedback

I wish I could give advice on photography, but I am, quite literally, a novice that just takes pictures for fun. I know nothing about my equipment and what that little dial really means other than when I move it to certain positions, I can get great pictures. Yes, I'm that much of a noob.
