What photographers need to know about the total eclipse of the moon tonight
The total lunar eclipse will be visible throughout North America, most South America and other parts of the world tonight and tomorrow, 13 and 14 March.
The lunar eclipse is produced from the sun, the earth and the moon that extends that the moon moves to the shadow of the earth. In the case of tonight, the total moon eclipse, the entire moon will be in the darkest part of the earth’s shadow, Umbra. When umbra blocks the moon, the red orange moon appears in the night sky, which is why it is referred to as “blood moon”.
If someone has a clear sky, he can easily see the blood satellite with his bare eyes. However, a corresponding lens, telescope, or ideally, perfectly, can help increase the viewing experience. Some photographers may be lucky as Justin Anderson did in May 2022 when he seized the blood satellite, anorra and Rillio in a wonderful image.
Penumbral Eclipse starts tonight at 11:57 pm EST (8:57 pm PDT). This is when the moon enters the Earth Penumbra Earth, the moon will start faint. The partial eclipse starts slightly more than an hour at 1:09 AM EST (10:09 pm PDT), with the total total at 2:26 am (11:26 pm PDT). During its entirety, the “copper red” moon turns, ” For each NASA. It will last a little more than an hour, and ends at 3:31 am EST (12:31 am PDT), providing viewers and photographers a lot of time to take a great picture. The eclipse will end at 6 am EST (3 am PDT). NASA’s perception below provides a preview of what the event will appear at specific times.
Photographers will need some relatively simple pieces of the kit to get footage of the blood satellite. Camera and Treibod is a must, of course. The best lens depends on the type of shot that someone wants. A wide or short phone lens can get a more traditional landscape image, while a long phone lens is the best bet to get close to the red moon.
The moon and the Earth are in a continuous movement, so photographers want to make sure they have a rapid shutter speed enough to avoid the blurring of the movement. The microscopic shutter speed will depend on the focal length of the lens, but a good base is to avoid anything longer than a few seconds. Faster is the best, and photographers should not be afraid of increasing ISO for the camera as needed. It is always possible to reduce noise after taking a photo, but removing the mass of movement is impossible.
Although some of the latest cameras can focus in low conditions, the broken moon will be somewhat dark, the manual focus is a good option, so photographers should be aware of the features of the camera’s manual focus early. As for photography, photography is a manual priority or shutter speed, both of which are good.
