so that footage is footage that I shot
last night I came home from dinner and
it's been very overcast here lately and
that is the new flower moon and I saw it
peeking out from behind the clouds ran
into the house grabbed my camera my
tripod went out in the yard and shot the
moon and this is part of something I've
been working on for the better part of
this year and I want to talk about in
this video today I have a project in
mind I have no idea what it's going to
look like in the end or what it's going
to end up being but I want to involve
the moon somehow and so I've had this in
my mind for a while and I wanted a good
starting place and I wasn't sure where
to start so much like a painter would
work you've got to grab a pencil and a
sketchbook and just start drawing
I've been grabbing my camera and I've
just been shooting the moon and trying
to do this in different ways
[Music]
so the original plan was tonight I was
going to set up outside and show you
guys exactly how I do this but as you
can see it is more than a little
overcast out here and of course the top
is down the Jeep which is going to
guarantee that it will rain so I don't
think we're going to get a lot of moon
tonight and I'm not even really sure
where this project is going like I
mentioned it's just something where I've
been taking a lot of pictures and making
these little movies and I share them on
social media and inevitably
every time I do that somebody asks me
what lens are you using so I'll talk you
through some of the gear that I'm using
for these moon shots
so this is the
Nikon Coolpix p900 which is Nikon's
version of a bridge camera now this is
not a great camera and I'll get into that in
a second there are people who make great
bridge cameras like Sony and Panasonic I
reviewed the Sony RX10 III last
year but it's also very expensive and
the whole idea of the bridge camera is
that it's somewhere between a DSLR but
it has a fixed lens so it sort of has a
point-and-shoot "ness" to it and they
usually put a super long telephoto zoom
length in here and that is the key with
this one now like I said this is not a
great bridge camera it's very plasticky
feeling it does not shoot raw the video
capabilities are extremely limited it is
horrible in low-light but it does have a
I believe it's a 24-2000mm range of
focal length on here so that will get
you very close to the moon which is why
I like to use this camera for that now
the thing about shooting the moon is you
actually don't need a lot of performance
out of a camera to get good images
because the moon essentially is just
reflecting sunlight and so as long as
you can get into manual mode and
manually adjust that exposure that's
where a lot of the problems come from
when people try to shoot the moon is
basically the moon is this bright object
that's sitting against a very dark space
which is just the night sky and when you
try to shoot that even in the daylight
it gets difficult to do because what's
happening is the meter is trying to split
the difference somewhere between the
bright areas and the dark areas of the
exposure so it's really essential that
you get into manual exposure to do this
you don't need a lot of ISO performance
the other thing that's nice about this
camera is it does have I believe it's
optical image stabilization in here
but it's good enough and you kind of do
need that when you're at really long
telephoto lengths if you're shooting still
images I use a tripod for everything and
I've had some wind issues on the tripod
and the other thing is this optical
image stabilization - some cameras just do
this it does this thing where if the
cameras sitting still it just turns
itself off and so I can get really
jiggly right before you take the picture
and so sometimes you just kind of have
to move it around it's very janky but
you can get used to shooting on this
there are a number of ways that you can
go about getting a long telephoto lens
to photograph the moon and I've done
some of these in these videos before
I've used crop sensor cameras with
adapters and then really long 35mm
manual focus lenses that work
certainly well your best option is
probably going to be to actually buy a
telescope but I didn't want to get into
that for me this is a special use camera
and for the price that you can get these
at try to find anything with a 2,000
millimeter focal range on it you're just
not going to and so for me it's a
special used camera I treat it kind of
like a GoPro you're not going to do a
whole feature length movie on it but
when you need it for one scene or
something specific it's there and it
does the job the idea of incorporating
the moon into some kind of project has
been something that's been on my mind
for a long time and this was originally
inspired by two of my favorite
photographers Keith Carter and Lisa
Oppenheim who are very different
photographers but approach the
moon in two very different ways Keith
has this sense of mysticism maybe this
this sense of metaphor to his work in
the way he incorporates the moon and
I've even seen him do some alternative
process methods like actually making
collodion prints out of moon
transparencies whereas Lisa Oppenheim
comes at it from a very different
perspective being a conceptual artist
and she's done some amazing stuff with
the idea and the image of the moon and
the moon to me is something that's
fascinating it's something that has been
with humans since the dawn of time it's
something we've all had experience with
it goes in these cycles that are
somewhat predictive we've only ever
visually been able to see one side of
the moon it only exposes one side of
itself to us nobody's ever seen the dark
side of the Moon unless you've gotten
satellite or something to go around or
have been lucky enough to been an
astronaut but there's something very
fascinating about it there's a
utilitarian purpose that the moon
serves and there's also kind of this
mystical kind of purpose
that people have had certain beliefs
around the moon like it controlling our
own sanity even so it's something that I
think is just really special to human
beings and very unusual
photographing the moon does come with an
interesting set of challenges in that we
know what it looks like the way our eyes
work we sometimes perceive it to be
closer than it actually is we have a
field of view to what our eyesight is
but sometimes in juxtaposition to
buildings or and it does visually appear
slightly larger when it's near the
horizon and can change colors sometimes
depending on what the lights doing what
the Sun is doing in relationship with
where the Earth is but there is a
certain predictability to the way we
have seen the moon it's just been done a
lot I talk about it all the time you
have your typical NASA shot which is
what a lot of my stuff looks like it's
just kind of redoing that you're just
seeing the plain moon full usually or
some kind of crescent against a dark sky
so what do you do with that what are the
possibilities that are there and that's
just kind of why I've started
photographing that and been working on
that this year so I can just start doing
it and start getting a feel for that so
I've been thinking about this a lot and
and maybe it would be interesting to
make this one of the photo assignments I
don't know it's hard to do if you don't
have a long telephoto lens or a camera
where you can definitely control all the
manual exposure but maybe that's
something that would be interesting to
try at least I don't know I'd love to
know your thoughts on that and have you
guys photographed the moon and
what is your experience with that I
think that a lot of these issues that
I'm talking about our commonalities
because when you are photographing
something you want to try to make it
creative and put your own voice into it
and the moon is familiar as it is to
everybody and has been since the
beginning of mankind I think there's
also a challenge there to make it unique
so the original plan the moon is going
to rise before sunset so I was going to
get out and actually record this video
while I was making pictures so I could
show you what I'm doing and
unfortunately for the cloud cover that's
the hand I'm dealt so c'est la vie
anyway so that won't happen tonight I'll
have to do that in a future video so if
you enjoyed this video though please
remember to like it share it subscribe

next one until then later
