[Tutorial] Moon Photography with Apexel 18x Super Zoom Lens and Mi6 #SuperMoon
January 31, 2018
Today is Super blue blood moon day. I am going to provide you perfect tips for capturing this special moon with your smartphones.
Without wasting much time lets start 'period'.
Things needed:
1. A smartphone
2. A Zoom lens (Higher the magnification, better the result)
3. A camera app with manual control (automatic is ok but not for perfect photo). I will suggest Manual Cameraapp.
4. A postprocessing software or app for edits
5. A tripod is a must for low light photography but still you can click by a stable hand.
6. Bluetooth remote shutter for shake-free capture.
Steps:

Put the lens on your eye. Look moon through the zoom lens then rotate the focusing ring so that it will perfectly focus the moon and your eye can see the moon sharply. This is the most crucial step so do this perfectly.
