How big is big? A photographers full moon is the day before the full moon. There is just enough daylight left to light the landscape. Start shooting just as the moon come up and the moon will be pretty big. The bigger the lens the bigger the moon. I like using the 500mm best.


The big moon visually is an illusion called moon illusion

How about this one from Gary Hart.

"A little easier is photographing a big moon with smaller foreground objects, such as a prominent tree. Near my home in Northern California are rolling hills topped by solitary oaks. When I can shoot up at these trees and position them against the sky, they make perfect moon foregrounds. And since trees are much smaller than Half Dome, even vantage points that are less than mile away let me include them with the moon all the way out to 1200mm."

My "composite" photo (attached) was done using a full moon captured with a Nikon D810 and Nikkor 200-500 lens @ 500mm. The "Grinder" service train was captured as it was parked on a side spar in Reno, Nevada. Used the D810 and 28-300mm to photograph the train.

Candidly this is the only composite photo I have done using the moon. There was a bright moon the night I took the Grinder photo but it didn't have the punch the other moon photo had.

I have seen pictures with a landscape or city scape where the moon seems overly large, not in scale to everything else. How is this accomplished?

I was a long distance from the areas in the foreground of the photographs with the moon in the background and then I cropped the photo.

So the landscape and the moon were taken at the same time with the same large MM lens?

Yes. I was using my Canon 70 D and my lens was a Canon EF 100-400 4.5-5.6 L IS II USM
