Mastering Supermoon Photography: Tips for Capturing the Spectacle with Your Smartphone

To capture Monday's supermoon with a smartphone, experts recommend photographing the moon right after sunset when it is just rising, as the color of the sky and clouds can enhance the exposure. Adjusting smartphone camera settings such as focal length, exposure, ISO, and shutter speed can improve the quality of the image.
