We have a full moon coming in a few days and i thought I'd go over how i set up my D90 to photograph it! The photo above was taken from my back porch last full moon. First you probably want to wait until the moon is hi in the sky and really dark outside for the best results. You'll want at least a 300mm lens but a 200mm lens will also work. If your using a lens with VR don't forget to turn it off while your D90 is on the tripod. Get your Tripod set up with your D90 and set you camera to Manual (M) on the dial. Set your metering to, Center-weighted metering (not that important but i like to do this) and Manual focus. Next set your aperture to F/11 and shutter speed to 1/400 for starters. Get out your remote release to fire off your shots... Adjust your exposure as you shoot to get it just right. The exposure settings I have given are just a good starting point for you and is what I used on the photo above. That's it, Have Fun! If you have any other suggestions for shooting a full moon please let us know. Always learning.....
