Cloud cover prevented Nic and I from photographing the supermoon rising yesterday, but early morning clear skies today gave us the opportunity to shoot it setting.
Although around 7% larger than usual this time around, the fact it appears larger when near the horizon is an optical illusion. Of course, using a super-telephoto lens to photograph a supermoon adds to the effect.
There are two more such events in the near future, and both in January next year - on the 2nd and 31st, to be exact. So, not only will the latter be a supermoon, it will also qualify as a blue supermoon, since there are two full moons in the same month.
300mm f/2.8 AF-S VR Nikkor with TC-14EII converter. 1/20 second at f/5.6. Matrix metering. - 1.33 stop EV compensation. Tripod and remote release. Mirror lockup. ISO 100
