Nest - Moon photography development

For this particular piece I want to explore the visual journey the moon goes under from our perspective of it on earth.  My DSLR captures the moon clearly after adjusting the ISO - it took me quite a bit of experimenting with this to get the best image quality. The photos were taken usually at ISO 100 which gives enough shutter speed time to capture the right amount of light sensitivity. If the shutter speed was left for any longer I experienced the a blurred image and it was too bright.

To capture the moon in its different states, I plan to take a photo of the moon each night for 7 days, each at the same time. After taking the first shots on the first night I'll decide what time that is from the best shot, and the rest of the shots on the other days will follow suit.

I plan to start this beginning on the 13th March.


Update:


First shot:

21:13 13.03.17



Second shot:

21:13 14:03.17


Third shot:

21:13 15.03.17



Notes:

In a way the photos are quite in consistent, some have a more golden brown hue to them whilst the first is a silver moon. When editing the final resolutions I will have to edit them so they match, whether its through the colour balance or exposure settings.

Update:

Clouds have prevented a decent shot. Kept checking every ten minutes if there was any clear sky, but there was hardly in moon in sight.
