On Monday, April 26th, there will be a “supermoon”, which is a full moon that occurs when the moon is near the closest point (the perigee) in its elliptical orbit around the Earth. That means the moon will appear larger in the sky than usual, which can be great for photographing the moon in the context of foreground scenery.
If you’d like some help planning a great shot that includes the supermoon, the PhotoPills app for mobile devices provides some powerful features. You can get the specific timing of the moon (or sun), and also use the Planner pill in PhotoPills to plan for an optimal location from which to photograph the supermoon juxtaposed with an interesting scene or subject.
If you’d like to learn to make the most of the PhotoPills app for planning various aspects of photography, I have a comprehensive course on PhotoPills called “Photo Planning with PhotoPills”, which is available in the GreyLearning library here:
