The November 2016 “Supermoon” isn’t quite here yet but I decided to get some practice shots of the “almost” Supermoon…

September 2016 Harvest Moon, shot with my Nikon Coolpix P900 and it’s crazy 24 – 2000 mm equivalent lens…
Handheld shot with a Nikon Coolpix P900 super-zoom camera…
An attempt to shoot the moon through some high clouds – didn’t get the results I was trying for but liked the result.
Another evening shot of the VLA, a group of radio telescopes near Socorro, New Mexico. The composition isn’t the best, the moon was too high relative to the antennas, but overall I liked it and decided to share…
Seemed to be appropriate to the fall / Halloween season here in the US. Shot handheld with an 18-200mm lens.
Experiment to see if I could get a decent shot of the moon using only a zoom lens. Nikon D7000 camera, handheld (no tripod), Tamron 70-300mm lens set to 300mm, ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/400 second exposure.
Saturday is the night of the “supermoon” – a full moon when it is closest to earth. Has not happened for 18 years. (Thanks to Sean for the clarification!) I don’t know if we will have clear skies on Saturday so I decided to get a shot of the almost-supermoon tonight. This was done with my Nikon D7000 camera, a tripod, and an 18-200mm zoom lens. Settings were ISO 100, f/5.6, 1/125 second exposure.
Overexposed shot of the half moon. The green image to the left is lens flare, in which you can see a ghostly reversed image of the moon.
We had a break in the clouds this evening and I was able to capture the crescent moon before it set. This shot is a fusion of two exposures processed with Photomatix Pro 4.0 HDR software. The camera is a Nikon D7000 and the settings were ISO 400, f/5.6, 200mm. The two exposures were 1/500 second and 1/200 second.
Moon with halo through a layer of high clouds. Nikon D7000, 18mm, ISO 800, f/3.5, 5 second exposure.
I like the way this came out. To me it looks like an exploding star with a shock wave and clouds of gas and dust.
Just a camera, a zoom lens, and a tripod. I’m pretty happy with the result. Exposure 1/2500 at f / 5.6, ISO 1250, Nikon D7000 with Nikon 18-200mm zoom lens.
