Moon like most other lighting by direct sun, can be object of General equipment and color or black and white film photography.

When the Moon and the Earth with light illumination of objects (i.e. Twilight scenes) while shooting, on the ground objects suitable exposure, generally the Moon properly recorded. When the Moon is in the sky while shooting, exposure alone must be estimated or determined in accordance with experience, because there is no light meter can measure so small area, the Moon and accurate measurement.

We are familiar with the lighting used to estimate the exposure of objects under the Sun of F16 rule, is to the average reflectivity was approximately 18 per cent of the facts.

The reflectivity of the Moon is less than half that only 7% or 8%. Therefore, these rules must be adjusted to increase the level of exposure, namely F11 and 1/film speed. In other words, if the film is used, exposure should be ISO125 F11 and 1/125 sec. The brightness of the Moon, because the mist, smoke or other effects of atmospheric conditions and reduce exposure to the right, therefore increased. In most cases, especially with long focal length lens, you must use a tripod. The lens should focus to infinity.

Direct observation of the Moon, although it looks great, but with a standard lens on screen, but small is disappointing.

Long Zoom telephoto lens, reflector lens or large telescope head, can take out a much larger image. The Moon's diameter on the film can be calculated by the formula: image diameter = lens/110.

To put a large Moon images shot in a ground features such as the shadow of the trees lining the sky on the screen, there are three ways.

The first method is to use a proper long lens, choose a more distant shooting position to achieve the desired composition. This method has limitations, because, in the selected shooting distance, objects, you must open vistas and the Moon must accurately into the required position. The second method is to use a standard lens, the distance in General, the object photographed, then, for a long focal length lens, using twice the exposure, separate shooting the moon. This method is able to adjust the Moon's position on the screen; however, the arrangement of the objects you want to pay more attention, be sure to avoid objects and the moon has no intention of overlap. If the film to return or replace the volume back to the camera for the first time in the correct location, exposure of second exposure can be in a few days later into. The third method is the object and the Moon were shot, and then combine the two images. In this way, you can get maximum control and change. You can put the two slides in a frame. The two pieces together zoom, or zoom in on the same sheet of paper with two sheets of film exposure, for stacking, respectively. The latter method can be the moon where you see fit, and you can zoom in by lifting machine to resize it.
