This is Saturday night's Supermoon or Perigree Moon. It's the closest the moon's been to Earth for twenty years. I remember around last February shooting the Wolf Moon and to be honest there's not a lot of difference as far as I can see. I wasn't going to post about this moon as I've seen loads of images of it on the web but then I had such nice comments about my own effort I thought I'd share it here. It's taken using a Nikon D700 and a Sigma 150mm -500mm lens f5-6.3. Shot at ISO200 f13 1/125sec ev -2. I processed using my favourite mono overlay layer trick at about 50% opacity - just gives it some ooomph! I have to say of all the images of the perigree moon I have seen this takes the biscuit http://www.flickr.com/photos/hangar_73/5540555239/ from one of my Flickr friends Rob. It's the humour I like and admire someone who thinks further than just capturing the image. Nice one Rob!
