When is Mid-Autumn Festival in 2020?

Thursday, October 1, 2020, the 15th day of the eighth month in the Year of the Rat.
The fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar is my country's traditional Mid-Autumn Festival, which is also the second largest traditional festival in my country after the Spring Festival. August 15th is exactly in the middle of autumn, so it is called Mid-Autumn Festival. In the ancient Chinese calendar, August, which is in the middle of autumn, is called "Mid-Autumn", so the Mid-Autumn Festival is also called "Mid-Autumn Festival".
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is bright. The ancients regarded the full moon as a symbol of reunion. Therefore, August 15 is also called the "Reunion Festival." Throughout the ages, people have often used "full moon" and "new moon" to describe "joys and sorrows, separations and reunions". For those who are away from home, the moon is even more of a place to express their deep affection. The poems such as "I look up at the bright moon, and I look down and think of my hometown" by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai, "The dew is white from tonight, the moon is bright in my hometown" by Du Fu, and "The spring breeze greens the south bank of the river again, when will the bright moon shine on me again" by Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty are all eternal masterpieces.

Where is the best place to enjoy the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival?

It is important to choose the right place to enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival moon. As the saying goes, "Climb high and see far." If conditions permit, you can go to nearby mountains or buildings that are higher up, which are all good places to enjoy the moon. Find a place away from town lights and wait for the beautiful sight of the bright moon shining in the sky. If you want to see the moon reflected in the water, you can choose to watch the moon near a river, lake or sea. A full moon rises in the sky, and the moon in the water and the moon in the sky complement each other. Witnessing the spectacular sight of "the bright moon rising from the sea" with your own eyes is also a unique artistic conception.

How to photograph the moon during Mid-Autumn Festival?

01 Check the weather <br /> The prerequisite for taking photos of the moon is to be able to see the moon. You can open the weather app on your phone to check the night weather, or even use some professional photography assistance apps to check the position of the moon rising and the thickness of the clouds.
02Choose a good location <br /> If you have completed the first step, congratulations! Once you have confirmed that the weather will be great on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the next step is to choose a good location. It would be best if there is some scenery as the foreground, but if not, at least it should be open and unobstructed. At worst, the rooftop of a building in the community or by the window at home will also do.
03 Equipment determination <br /> It is best to bring a telephoto lens, 70-200 is a good start, and also bring a tripod and shutter cable.
04 Start shooting <br /> Use manual exposure. When measuring light, you can try spot metering on the moon to appropriately reduce the exposure and retain enough details of the moon.
05 Creative Play <br /> Use a promising method to complete the creation of silhouettes, which can be scenery or the interaction between people and the moon. If you don't have any, you can also cut some black cardstock as the foreground. In addition, you can use the double exposure shooting method. You can use a telephoto lens to shoot the moon so that it looks very large, and then use a wide-angle lens to shoot the scenery, and finally automatically combine them into one photo.
