The rising Full Moon of June, dubbed the “Strawberry Moon” in the media, as seen rising over a prairie pond in southern Alberta, on June 9, 2017. This is a single exposure stack, from a time-lapse sequence of 1100 frames, with images taken at two second intervals. Shot with the Canon 6D and 200mm lens.
The rising Full Moon of June, dubbed the “Strawberry Moon” in the media, as seen rising over a prairie pond in southern Alberta, on June 9, 2017. At right, the glitter path from the Moon also combines on the water. This illustrates the effect of the Moon brightening and becoming less red/yellow as it rises into clearer air above the horizon, with less atmospheric absorption of the short wavelengths. This is a composite stack, obviously, of 15 exposures, selected to be about 2.5 minutes apart, from a time-lapse sequence of 1100 frames, with images taken at two second intervals. Shot with the Canon 6D and 200mm lens.
The waning quarter Moon, overexposed here, below the galactic centre as the Milky Way in Sagittarius and Scorpius rises in the east as seen from Australia, at latitude 32° South. Some clouds are moving in. The sky is blue from the moonlight. This is a single frame from the end of a 500-frame time-lapse sequence, each frame 40 seconds at f/2.5 with the Rokinon 14m lens and Canon 6D at ISO 3200.
