Photos of the Moon in All Its Forms

Who has never dreamed of an escapade to the Moon? Every night, all eyes rise to thesky, towards this satellite at once so near and so far, which lights our way. Artists seek to capture its light, forms, and patterns through their lenses. And to do so, they need very special lenses! Lunar photography requires a high-quality camera, as does photographing stars, clouds , the sky, and the Milky Way. To obtain sharp images, without any digital noise, avoiding light pollution, it is first necessary to have waited for hours for the right lunar phases. But, naturally, nothing stops those with true passion: the photographers who would be ready for anything to capture the magic moment.

 Many elements are required to photograph the moon: you need a night sky or a dark sky, to glimpse a well-defined lunar disc, to obtain a full moon in a photo. Sometimes you have to try different shots, to obtain full moons, or realistic photos of the Moon against a black background. The distance of certain photographs provides various perspectives over planet Earth, or of the moon in its myriad variations.
