折角の満月を撮れない！ I can't get a good shot of the full moon!

今夜は十五夜。天気も良かったので、夕食後に空を見てみると、南南東の方角に、満月がひかり輝いていた。

これまでの自分なら、「あぁ、満月だな〜」としか思わなかった。子供の頃は、「本当にうさぎが餅つきをしているように見えるかな？」とは思ったかもしれない。

しかし、今回は違った。カメラを買ったからだ。いそいそと新品のカメラを持ち出し、満月を撮ってみる。

しかし、見た感じと全然違う。おまかせモードだからダメなのかと思い、プログラムモード、絞り優先、シャッタースピード優先などに切り替え、いろいろ撮ってみる。

それぞれ違いはあるが、どれも黒字に小さい白点にしか見えない。

そうか、やはりズームレンズの50㎜では無理なのかと思い知った。

望遠レンズは重そうだし、高そうだし、しばらくは我慢することにして、身近なものを撮ることにした。

Tonight is the fifteenth night of the year. The weather was fine, so after dinner I looked at the sky and saw a full moon shining brightly in the south-southeast direction.

Until now, I would have only thought, "Oh, it's a full moon! As a child, I might have thought, "Does it really look like a rabbit making rice cakes?" I might have thought.

But this time was different. It was because I bought a camera. I quickly took out my new camera and tried to take pictures of the full moon.

However, it was totally different from what I had seen. I thought it might be because the camera was in "leave it to me" mode, so I switched to program mode, aperture priority, shutter speed priority, etc., and tried taking various shots.

Each one had its own differences, but they all looked like small white dots on a black background.

I realized that the 50㎜ zoom lens was not enough.

Telephoto lenses seem to be heavy and expensive, so I decided to hold off for a while and take pictures of familiar objects.

The photo is a part of my chair. It looks like a very stylish sculpture.
