If you're wondering how to photograph the 'supermoon' full moon tonight and you have one of the best bridge cameras, it shouldn't prove overly challenging. I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Nikon Coolpix P1000. This bridge camera launched at the tail end of 2018, and all anybody could talk about was its jaw-dropping 125x optical zoom. To put things into perspective, that's a 3000mm focal length in 35mm equivalent terms!
As you'd expect from a superzoom, the P1000 is also capable of shooting wide focal lengths (down to 24mm). But when Nikon sent me one to play with, I couldn't wait to take that super-duper telephoto for a spin and the moon seemed like the perfect subject. Like all forms of astrophotography, a shoot's success hinges primarily on planning. Clear nights are a must and you'll find plenty of resources online, such as Clear Outside.
