当满月来临，尤其是大而多彩的血月或收获月时，没有什么比能拍到清晰的照片更好的了。然而，拍摄月球照片可能会很困难，而且很多时候你可能最终得到的照片与你用肉眼看到的完全不同。
您绝对可以通过一些尝试和错误以及正确的摄影技巧来获得月球的好照片。但是为了获得最佳的月球照片，请考虑这些用于月球拍摄的相机设置，并消除机会问题。以下是拍摄月球时使用的最佳相机设置。
国际标准化组织(ISO)
将相机 ISO 设置为100。这将使您的相机能够清晰地捕捉到月亮的明亮光线和细节，并使夜空变暗。由于月亮是您唯一的焦点，因此您无需担心能否看到其他地方的风景。如果您确实想拍摄更多风景，请检查以下设置以捕捉前景。
光圈(Aperture)
要获得最清晰的照片，请尝试以更窄的光圈f/11拍摄照片。这将确保您获得最宽的镜头，并以清晰的方式捕捉月球的所有细节。如果您的镜头在特定光圈下拍摄更清晰的照片，您可以根据需要稍微高于此值。每个镜头都可能不同。
快门速度(Shutter Speed)
为了获得良好的月光和细节曝光，您应该将快门速度设置在1/100 to 1/125左右。这将与您设置的ISO和光圈一起使用，以最大限度地提高您在月球上看到的细节。
重点(Focus)
让您的相机保持手动对焦。这将使您可以轻松控制相机的对焦方式。如果您使用自动对焦，可能会更难以获得清晰的照片，并且您将失去对照片的大量控制。由于月亮是不动的，您不必担心需要快速转移焦点。
白平衡(White Balance)
此设置或多或少取决于您，具体取决于您要在照片中加入哪种颜色。特别是如果您按照下面的建议以RAW 格式(RAW)拍摄，您的白平衡就不那么重要了。
不过，使用日光白平衡(Daylight White Balance)预设可能是您拍摄月球的最佳选择。或者，尝试启用自动白平衡设置。
使用长镜头(Use a Long Lens)
拍摄精美月球照片的一个重要部分是拥有一个可以捕捉到如此遥远的细节的镜头。您仍然可以用短镜头拍摄月球照片，但结果将是一个小得多的月亮，而照片中的周围风景更多。
如果您希望月亮填满照片并显示其所有细节，则使用焦距为 200 毫米或更长(a focal length of 200mm or longer)的长镜头会更好。如果您只想将镜头用于月球拍摄，则镜头的速度并不重要。
原始拍摄(Shoot in Raw)
如果您打算在拍摄月球照片后进行色彩平衡，建议您以RAW格式拍摄照片。这将允许更简单的色彩平衡和校正。对月亮照片执行此操作很重要，因为您可以修复照明和颜色等问题，这是一张好的月亮照片中最重要的部分。
这些照片会占用更多内存，因为它们不像JPEG(JPEGs)那样被压缩，所以如果可以的话，一定要带上多张存储卡。
其他提示(Other Tips)
除了月球摄影的相机设置外，您还应该记住一些其他事项，以便获得尽可能好的照片。
等待月亮升起(Wait for the Moon to Rise)
月亮在其夜间路径的顶峰时最亮。这通常发生在午夜左右，然后月亮将在早上 6 点左右落下。当月亮在午夜处于最高点时，您应该可以在这个位置拍摄大约一个小时。那么它就会走向衰落。
另外，请记住，月相将决定它的亮度。满月在其高峰期将比在新月期亮得多。
早点到那里(Get There Early)
虽然一开始可能看起来不像，但您可能需要一分钟才能完全设置好正确拍摄月球。您必须设置好相机、三脚架，然后构图。如果您尝试在特定点拍摄月球，这可能会占用宝贵的时间。
所以，一定要早点到。在您到达之前更改相机上的设置也可能会有所帮助，然后根据需要进行调整以节省一些时间。事先考虑好要构图的照片类型以及要从哪个区域拍摄。
使用三脚架
对于任何风景照片和光线是重要因素的照片（如日落摄影(sunset photography)），三脚架都是必不可少的设备。这将确保没有相机抖动，这使您可以拍摄更详细的照片。
为了增加清晰照片的机会，您可以在相机上设置一个短定时器，以便在您按下按钮后拍摄照片。这将防止按下按钮的行为影响您的照片。
结合前景(Incorporating the Foreground)
如果您想在照片中显示更多的前景以及月亮，您将需要考虑将两张照片合成到另一张照片上。月球和地面或周围风景都很难获得正确的曝光，因此拍摄多张照片并为每张照片设置不同的曝光度会得到一张看起来更干净的照片。

6 Best Camera Settings for Moon Photos
When there is a full moоn coming up, especially a bіg, cоlorful blood mоon or harvest moon, there’s nothing better than being able to take clear pictures of it. Taking pictures of thе mоon, though, can prove to be difficult, and muсh оf the time you may end up with piсtures that are nothing like what yoυ see with your naked еye.
You definitely can get good pictures of the moon through some trial and error, and the right photography techniques. But to get the best moon shots, take these camera settings for moon shots into account and remove the matter of chance. Here are the best camera settings to use when photographing the moon.
ISO
Set your camera ISO to 100. This will allow your camera to clearly pick up the bright light and details of the moon, as well as darkening the night sky. Since the moon is your only focus, you don’t need to worry about being able to see other parts of the scenery. If you do want to pick up more scenery, check the settings below for capturing the foreground.
Aperture
To get the clearest pictures, try to take your photos at a narrower aperture f/11. This will ensure that you get the widest shot you can and capture all the detail of the moon with sharpness. You can go slightly higher than this if you need to, if your lens takes clearer pictures at a certain aperture. It can be different for every lens.
Shutter Speed
To get a good exposure of the moon’s light and details, you should set your shutter speed at around 1/100 to 1/125. This will work with what you have set your ISO and aperture to in order to maximize the detail you can see in the moon.
Focus
Keep your camera in manual focus. This will make it easy for you to control how the camera focuses. If you use an automatic focus, it may make it more difficult to get clear photos and you’ll lose a lot of control over the photo. Since the moon is unmoving, you won’t have to worry about needing fast focus shifts.
White Balance
This setting is more or less up to you, depending on what kind of colors you want to incorporate into your photo. Especially if you shoot in RAW as is recommended below, your white balance won’t matter as much.
Using the Daylight White Balance preset, though, is probably your best go-to for photographing the moon. Or, experiment with the auto white balance setting enabled.
Use a Long Lens
An important part of taking great moon photos is to have a lens that can capture something so far away with detail. You can still take moon photos with short lenses, but the result will be a much smaller moon with more of the surrounding scenery in the shot.
If you want the moon to fill up the photo and show all its detail, using a long lens with a focal length of 200mm or longer is better. The speed of the lens doesn’t matter as much if you want to use the lens for only moon shots.
Shoot in Raw
If you plan to color balance your moon photo after taking it, it’s recommended to shoot your photos in the RAW format. This will allow for much simpler color balancing and correcting. It’s important to do this with moon photos as you can fix things like lighting and color, which are some of the most important parts of a good moon picture.
These photos will take up more memory, as they are not compressed like JPEGs, so make sure to bring multiple memory cards if you can.
Other Tips
Besides the camera settings for moon photography, there are also some other things you should keep in mind in order to get the best photos possible.
Wait for the Moon to Rise
The moon shines at its brightest when it’s at the peak of its nightly path. This usually occurs around midnight, and then the moon will set at around 6 am. When the moon is at its highest point at midnight, you should be able to photograph it in this position for about an hour. Then it will be on its decline.
Also, keep in mind that the phase of the moon will determine how brightly it shines. A full moon will be much brighter at its peak than in its crescent phase.
Get There Early
Although it may not seem like it at first, it might take you a minute to get entirely set up to properly photograph the moon. You’ll have to set up your camera, tripod, and then compose your shots. This can take up precious time if you’re trying to photograph the moon at a specific point.
So, be sure to get there early. It may also help to change the settings on your camera before you arrive, and then tweak them as needed to save some time. Think beforehand about what kinds of photos you want to compose, and the area you want to shoot it from.
Use a Tripod
A tripod is essential equipment for any landscape photo and photos where light is an important factor (like sunset photography). This will ensure there is no camera shake and this allows you to capture photos in finer detail.
To increase the chance of clear photos, you can set a short timer on your camera to take the photo after you’ve pressed the button. This will prevent the act of pressing the button to impact your photo.
Incorporating the Foreground
If you want to show more of the foreground as well as the moon in your photo, you’ll want to think about compositing two photos onto one another. It’s very difficult to get a correct exposure for both the moon and the ground or surrounding scenery, so taking multiple photos with different exposures set for each one will result in a much cleaner looking photograph.
Image modifications are easy in Photoshop or another image editing software.
Photographing the Moon
Although taking photos of the moon can seem daunting at first, hopefully this guide has helped you get a better grasp on moon photography. You can put your knowledge to use the next time there is an eye-catching lunar event you just have to get a picture of. Who knows, you might end up selling your perfect photograph online and giving a fillip to your photography skills.
