Super Moon 4th April 20

[Andy R]

Going through Lightroom the last few days editing various pictures from last year (clouds, snow, rain and lockdown what else is there to do). I completely forgot about the shots of the super moon taken back in April, I was hoping to image it rising behind a few village buildings but as I recall the clouds rolled in just as it was due to rise. Anyhow, I kept my camera setup and shot the following a few hours later.

Canon 6D mkii & WhiteCat 51

Lovely image. I presume you took different exposures?

Yep I was experimenting that night it’s either exposure bracketing with high speed continuous shoot mode or two different exposures manually set. Blended in photoshop and tonight in Lightroom I changed it to monochrome, 1:1 crop and radial filter to add a vignette.

Thanks, I always wonder what method people use to combine as it’s not always that easy with the moon.  You’ve done a very good job as the bright full moon retains a natural look amongst the clouds.

Thanks Richard, have you seen the Alyn Wallace youtube video of how he edits his HDR moon images. I didnt use his method on this but may try it on the raw files to see how it comes out. If you havent have a look at his channel, he posted it about 5 months or so ago.
