The smallest Full Moon of 2016, the apogee Full Moon, rising over the Pacific Ocean on April 22, 2016, from the Woolgolga Headlands viewpoint, NSW, Australia. This is a high-dynamic range stack of 5 exposures, to compress the range in brightness from the dark ground to bright sky and Moon. Stacked in Adobe Camera Raw.
The waxing gibbous Moon over Upper Ebor Falls, on the Waterfall Way, between Armidale and Dorrigo, on the New England Tablelands, in Guy Fawkes River National Park in NSW, Australia. This was in the austral autumn (April), so after a dry summer there isn’t a lot of water flowing over the falls. The Moon is rising into an evening twilight sky. This is a high dynamic range stack of 7 exposures to preserve the range in brightness between the bright sky and Moon, and the dark ground in the dim twilight.
The waxing two-day old Moon in the evening sky from Australia, to the right of the silhouette of the dome of the AAT Observatory on Siding Spring Mountain, with the last of the sunset colours to the west at left. Note the Moon looks “upside down” compared to the northern view of an evening crescent Moon. Clouds are bloating the image of the Moon to look more like a quarter than a crescent. This is a 2-panel panorama with 3-second exposures with the 35mm lens and Canon 6D. Taken from Tibuc Road, near Siding Spring Observatory. Stitched with Adobe Camera Raw.
