Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The supermoon phenomenon can be witnessed this afternoon in Indonesia. If you want to capture a rare event using a cellphone, here are some tips.
In early July, citizens of the world including Indonesia will witness the first Supermoon phenomenon in 2023. Supermoon can be witnessed in Indonesia today, Monday (3/7/2023), starting at 17.40 WIB.
Quoted from Live Science, the Supermoon phenomenon will make the moon in a lower position. It should be noted, the true moon has an elliptical orbit. Therefore, the distance of the moon can reach the perigee (closest distance) and apogee (farthest distance) each month.
Supermoon itself has many terms. Besides Buck Moon, often also called Thunder Moon, Hay Moon, Salmon Moon, and Raspberry Moon.
How to take Supermoon photos using a cellphone
To take photos of the super bright moon during the Supermoon phenomenon, the first thing to pay attention to is choosing the best time. The best time to take photos of the moon is immediately after sunset when the new moon rises. The color of the sky and clouds, according to Science Alert, makes it easier to adjust the exposure to take the best photos of the moon.
The point is, it’s easier to take photos of the moon when it’s still light.
Then, after the HP camera, you also have to pay attention. Users can play focus, exposure, and ISO, as well as shutter speed.
“Make sure you don’t use flash and turn on HDR. HDR means that there will be a higher contrast between dark and light in photos. Today’s cellphones are usually equipped with HDR. However, flash actually spoils photos of the sky at night,” said Mark Lord, a photographer. IFLScience.
Then, it is advisable to take photos of the moon using a cell phone not to focus too much on the moon. One main thing to watch out for is not trying to zoom too close to the moon.
“Even the most sophisticated cellphones don’t have too good a zoom capacity. Trying to zoom in on photo objects, especially objects that are very far away like the moon, actually sacrifices image quality and resolution,” said Lord.
Lord suggests creating a stylized attractive photo landscape, with depth and variety utilizing objects and landmarks in the background. The moon behind a tree branch, for example, gives a different atmosphere.
Even if an attractive backdrop makes a difference, the moon should still be the focus. Highlight the moon and click to auto focus. If you focus on other objects, the moon is at risk of being over exposed.
