Supermoon (Almost) 2

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

Handheld shot with a Nikon Coolpix P900.

Follow up to my earlier post “Supermoon (almost)”.  My attempt to capture the full 2011 “supermoon”.  Taken with a Nikon D7000, 18-200mm lens, and a tripod.  Settings were ISO 100, f/8.0, 1/320 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.
