Almost a Super Blue Moon (from the night before it)

On 08/18/2024 09:19 pm by John Scarrott| Jersey, Channel Islands

It is a Super Blue Moon today, but where I live it is forecast to be 100% cloud so I took the chance to get this photo last night.

I like the rose gold colour of this one, the benefit of getting the photo when the Moon is rising and close to the horizon.

Canon R3
Canon RF100-500 set to 500mm
ISO-250
1/3s
f/7.1

The photo was from when the Moon was just a few degrees above the horizon, so there was a lot of atmospheric distortion affecting it, plus there was high humidity as the shot was taken across the sea just after Sunset. This meant the image needed a bit of cleaning up.

Using Cyberlink PhotoDirector I adjusted sharpness, noise reduction and clarity.

No other changes made.
