I went outside at dusk the other night and noticed that the moon was full and that it was in full view. I have been thinking about doing a moon sequence where one captures a series of images without moving the camera. So, I grabbed my camera, the longest lens that I have, my sturdy tripod and my shutter release and setup the rig in my patio. My Canon 7D Mark II<\/a> has an intervalometer built-in. So set it up to take 20 photographs at 30-second intervals. I then chose four that were spaced out evenly and that would\u00a0show enough of the moon’s details. I brought them all together into one image using Photoshop. I left a border around the moons to highlight each moon’s circumference.<\/p>\n

What’s an Intervalometer<\/a> you ask? Well, I’m glad you did.\u00a0An intervalometer is an attached camera device or a feature built-in to some cameras that operate the shutter regularly at set intervals over a period of time. This\u00a0capability is often\u00a0used for time-lapse photography. In my case, I wanted the moons to be separated by the same interval. I could have done it manually but it is\u00a0very hard to get it perfectly right. The intervalometer eliminates\u00a0all the guesswork.<\/p>\n

This image was taken with my\u00a0Canon EOS 7D Mark II<\/a>\u00a0using my Sigma 150-600mm f\/5-6.3 Sports Lens<\/a> set on 569 mm. The camera was set on Manual\u00a0mode with the aperture set at f\/6.3, shutter speed at 1\/60th of a second and the ISO set at 100.\u00a0This photograph is comprised of four images and combined using Photoshop.<\/p>\n
