Tonight I learned how to shoot a moon lit sky. The challenge was with the white balance. I wanted the sky to look blue as I saw it. So I used the Tungsten white balance and it gave me exactly the effect I wanted. This shot was taken with my wide angle lens 16-35mm at 35mm. I like the feel it leaves you with.
It was full moon that night and I wanted to document the beauty of the scene. I used my my 70-200mm lens at 200mm first to shoot the moon on its own (photo below). It is a nice zoom where the moon stands right in the middle of the photo.
The slow exposure (4-5 sec) in both photos helped copying the colors as I saw them that night. I may have tried longer exposures though. Next time I want to try the bulb and see how it looks. I also want to highlight how big the moon felt in the sky. The wide angle lens didn't help at all in giving this feeling. Maybe I should try around the 100mm.
