Supermoon 2012

Hi IIS,


It was a fierce battle agains the clouds, I had a mist storm very rare at my location, clouds and of course the SuperMoon.

I created a gallery to show the photos I took during this event on May 4th, 5th and 6th.

You can browse it here: http://www.luisargerich.com/supermoon2012

My favorite shots are:

Even with the full moon and the clouds the camera captured several stars! At the top I found zubenelgenubi, very bright and conspicuously green, and above Zub there's a nice string of stars from Hydra. This was surprising!

The best representation of what I could see with my own eyes. A nice corona around the moon and its reflection over the river.
I had to fuse 3 exposures to achieve a similar result with the camera. Kudos for human eyes to adapt very well to different brightness levels.


Feedback is always appreciated!
Luis
