Moon #162: Last Supermoon of 2016


We had lousy weather from December 9 to 13, so the next time I was able to capture the Moon was on the 14th. The actual ‘Supermoon’ was one day before, but this is still pretty close!

I have some collected December Moon shots and I’m going to post them as the last photo of the day during and between the holidays. This one is from December 6!

Moon #159: Almost Supermoon HDR Edition


This is yesterday’s almost-Supermoon again because we’re totally clouded out today – but this time processed as an HDR made out of three exposures, each stacked from 10 separate photos. I really have to mention that this is highly processed with massively enhanced brightness and contrast dynamic – the Moon doesn’t really look like this seen with the naked eye, but this way much more detail is visible.

Moon #158 – Almost Supermoon


It’s not quite the Supermooon yet, today it has 99% illumination, but it’s still the largest moon I’ve ever taken a photo of – it’s even bigger than the Harvest Moon from October 16!

Moon #155


It’s not only the Full Moon, but also the Supermoon – I was barely able to fit it into a 1024×1024 frame!

Moon #154


One more Moon shot I forgot to process – this is from September 25 and I haven’t seen the Moon since! But today, October 8, is International Observe the Moon Night, so this photo has to do as a substitute.
