Today we meet up with astro enthusiast Jeffrey and go through the basics of shooting moon photos.
I recently shot a photo of the moon outside my home but I was kind of unsatisfied with the outcome. After the session with Jeff, I realised that shooting the moon is the easiest and most approachable form of astrophotography, and anyone can get started with basic equipment.

I shoot with my A7RV together with Jeff and his Nikon Z7. I used an adapted Nikon 300mm F4 (which is quite old by now but still produces great images) while he used his reliable Sigma.
