I was lucky to catch site of this ‘Supermoon’ as the clouds parted. I caught it as it was just rising low on the horizon, and as the sun was slipping down on the opposite side of the planet, hence this odd colour. Not as sharp as I would have liked it, but the clouds were coming again.

Thank you, Sophie 🙂 I got lucky with a break in the weather here. I hope it breaks for you there in Paris so you can get to see it.

Nice capture. Looks like we’re using the same lens for lunar photography! I wasn’t able to get any shots last night. If it’s clear tonight, I’ll give it a try, with a tripod.

Thank you 🙂 Its been very cloudy and rainy all day today, and I didn’t think I would get a chance to get any photos, but I was lucky as the clouds cleared for a while. Yes, tripod much better for sharper images.

Gorgeous!! I’m about to upload my pics from last night to my blog, however they aren’t nearly as stunning as yours! I’ve got a lot of learning to do with my camera!

Thank you, Alexa 🙂 Yes I count myself lucky, for it was very cloudy and wet here also, until the clouds broke giving me this opportunity.
