Example of 'multiple exposure' image, using Bulb mode on camera.
Camera set to bulb > ISO set to L (50-on Canon 5D) > remote control clicked 'on' > counted to 20 > covered lens with cardboard tube cap.
I didn't time these for the example, but did unvocer the lens four times as you can see, I just guesstimated as to how long it would take for moon to move to new position. Depending on how close you want the moons, go either 3-5 minutes in between 'shots' (lens covered).
Tips:
> Put brand new batteries in camera or use a/c adapter.
> Use remote control, if you have it (make sure batteries are good)
> Use bulb mode (if you want this type of exposure, otherwise can take single images using timer)
> Have something to cover lens with: either lens cap, cardboard tube cover, black-out cloth, clean t-shirt doubled/tripled... whatever you can find that will cover the lens and allow no stray light to the sensor.
> Use a tripod, the sturdier the better, so that when you go to cover the lens you aren't accidently bumping the camera.
> If you can adjust your white balance on your camera, set it for Daylight. Also, if you have settings on your camera (landscape, portrait, neutral, etc.) best bet would probably be neutral or faithful, so that you aren't adding a slight color cast, etc.
> It's early enough in most places still, that you can do as I did and go outside (dark spot out of light) and test your set up. I learned that because of the way the moon is rising in my location, I need to start my exposure with the moon located in the bottom left of my screen.
For actual eclipse, I will use an aperture of either f/11, maybe f/8. For this example, I used f/32. This is a 100% crop.
As for lenses, I used my 100mm Macro, I could have easily used my wide-angle or any of my tele-photos also. Just depends on how you want image to look in the end.
I'm also being very lazy tonight and not setting up my telescope, otherwise your example would show off the craters. ;)
Hope this helps at least one person, Good luck and have fun! :) |
