This week for my individual inquiry on photography I took some photos of the moon at night. This was tricky because of the limited amount of night photography I had taken. Before having a camera, I just use my iPhone and iPhone night shots were always blurry and never turned out well. I was pleasantly surprised that the Sony Alpha 7 ii took fairly clear night shots and even without a flash! It can do this because it has a full-framed sensor (one of the reasons I picked this camera over others). The full-framed sensor is twice the size of the APS-C sensor, this means that it can capture twice the amount of light (Dan, 2020). The Sony Alpha 7 ii also has excellent ISO sensitivity which makes the photos cleaner (Dan, 2020). However, if you want a flash, the body of the camera has an area on top for an aftermarket flash that can be bought at any camera store, but for now, I am satisfied with the night photography I can take without it.

Here are some of my night photos:
