How To Create a HDR Moon Photograph

My latest YouTube video is another awesome project you can try during the lockdown. Create stunning HDR images of the Moon where you can see the illuminated and the unilluminated side of the Moon in the same photograph. You don’t need a tracking mount or anything fancy, just a camera, telephoto lens and a tripod.

I share two techniques; one where you merge two images taken on the same night and another where you use a previously taken image of the Full Moon to obtain better detail in the unilluminated portion. You can also composite those onto a backdrop of stars for an added touch.

I hope you enjoy it and I hope you learn something too.
