Celestial events always make for stunning visuals and one such event is taking place today. In a rare occurrence, the 'super moon' and the 'blue moon' will be visible across parts of US, Asia, India, Europe and Australia. People who love stargazing, such occurrences are a treat for them while for those who love to capture stunning images, it's a memorable occasion. Wondering how you can capture the best images of this rare moon on your smartphone? Read on:




Third-party AppsThere are a number of apps available which allow you to control the exposure, shutter speed and ISO among other things. These apps are Halide, Camera+, ProCam 2 among others. Do note that most of these apps aren't free and you'll have to fork out considerable amount of money.



TripodHaving a tripod is a key for getting better images of the 'super moon'. Not just for special occasions, if you're an avid photographer, a tripod will come in very useful. For the super moon, select a good spot first and ensure that you can get clear shots of the moon. The tripod will come in handy for our next tip as well.




Use time-lapseWhile its meant for shooting videos, a great image can be made from a time-lapse video. Use a tripod for best results for time-lapse videos. Do keep in mind that patience is the key while shooting time-lapse videos. If you get two minutes of footage, it will only mean a few seconds of time laps. So be prepared to shoot at length for better and longer duration of time-lapse footage.




ZoomDon't expect DSLR-like results but high-end smartphones come with pretty solid cameras. For instance, if you've phones like Samsung Galaxy Note 8 or OnePlus 5T, they come with secondary telephoto lens. If you've add-on accessories like Moment lenses or OlloClip (for iPhones), they give great zoom effect.
