It is not a full moon, no event occur on the day I take this photo. But the sky is clear and the moon looks very big to the eye (it is an optical illusion that the closer the moon to the horizon the bigger it looks like).
So I decided to take photo of this moon. The picture is taken by Sony α37 in manual mode with the setting
- ISO 100
- Aperture 5.6
- Shutter speed 1/400
- Optical zoom @ 55mm & Digital zoom 4x
The RAW file of the moon look like this on the right. Then fine tune some setting through computer and crop the picture for the final photo.
