One Trick for Better Lunar Eclipse Photos

The hardest part of photographing a lunar eclipse is the brightness range. During the transition out of totality, one exposure often isn’t enough to capture both the bright crescent and the darker eclipsed part of the Moon. In this video, I show a simple technique — bracketed shooting — that helps you capture detail across the whole Moon by taking multiple exposures. I also made a separate video where I show how to combine and edit these exposures:    • How to Create a Moon in Clouds Photo: Step...   I photographed a total lunar eclipse here in Sweden last September.
