Supermoon Rise (July 31, 2023) #1.jpg

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download
The Full Moon of July 31, 2023 rising at the end of a long line of high tension towers across the prairie near Milo, Alberta. Some smoke in the air made the rising Moon even redder than normal, making it look like an eclipsed Moon. This night the alignment of the rising point of the Full Moon coincided with the angle of the powerlines off to the southeast at 135° azimuth.

This was the evening before the day of actual Full Moon, which ocurred at midday August 1, so the Moon the evening before was almost as full as it would be the next night, and the alignment was better this night. This was also a "supermoon," being a Full Moon close to lunar perigee.

This is a single exposure with the Canon RF7-200mm lens at 200mm anf f/4 on the Canon R5 at ISO 100. A mild soft focus effect added with Nik Collection 6 Color EFX.
