How To Capture That Moon?
Imagine yourself taking a little break in your balcony, sky gazing and there’s…a big blue moon! That is a great sight! And you want to capture it but all you have is your smartphone. You want to take that shot anyway but all you got is this….a white dot.
And no matter how you zoom in your camera or change your position, you still got the same white dot. Wish you have a better picture to show? But there’s a little trick for that. I think no smartphone can capture the moon that big yet, maybe, because it needs better, bigger lenses.
I had a similar incident like that before, though it was not a blue moon. On the same month of October last year, the news spread about the sight of the red moon, some people called it blood moon or hunter’s moon. We did saw that beautiful moon with our bare eyes but since we were still at work, we didn’t have the chance to take a picture. We want to remember that moment anyway so we decided to do moon gazing after work, though the moon had gone farther and smaller. My friend brought her telescope and we had the idea of taking the picture through the telescope and we became excited when we got better photos.
How we did it? Just stick the phone's lens right up to the telescope and be patient when capturing it and maybe fast enough before the moon goes farther away because you have to change your telescope's position again. That picture above was taken through my Zenfone 2 Laser. My friend used her iPhone and the other was a Samsung Galaxy. So far, I was quiet satisfied with the output of my Zenfone. Maybe I should try again next time for a better result.
Want to try it? Grab your telescope or borrow from a friend. Extend the phone's lens through the telescope (haha!). While you're having fun, ask someone to grill the barbecue and enjoy dinner outside with friends later. Share this trick with your friends and enjoy!
