The rising of the Full "Hunter's Moon" of October 9, 2022, with the Moon reflected in the calm waters this night at Crawling Lake Reservoir in southern Alberta. The Moon appeared very pink as it rose into the clear sky near the horizo, then turned more yellow as it rose into scattered bands of cloud. This serves as a goo demo of the Moon illusion and how the Moon does not change size as it rises — it is the same size on the horizon as it is higher up. This is a blend of 10 images taken 3 minutes apart with the RF70-200mm lens at 200mm and Canon R5, each frame exposed for the Moon. The frames were blended onto the first image (which contributes the lowest Moon and all the sky and foreground) in Photoshop using a Normal blend mode but with Blend If sliders and masks to isolate the later moons and reflected moons. There is also a single-image version of this scene.

There is also a composite time-lapse version of this, as this was one frame from a set of 110 frames taken this night as the Moon rose.
