Yesterday’s Total Lunar Eclipse - The First Since 2022 🌙

Here is a quick edit of the major phases of the total lunar eclipse. Each image is a single shot, not HDR. I selected images that were on the cusp of being blown out/underexposed to try and display the full dynamic range.

I hope you like it!

An eclipse occurs when the sun moves behind the Earth, casting the Earth’s shadow on the surface of the moon. The red colour comes from light refracting through the Earth’s atmosphere & experiencing Rayleigh scattering. The blue colour comes from light passing through the ozone layer of the atmosphere 🤯

This scattering is the cause of the bright red colour and also why sunrises & sunsets are colourful. You can think of the phenomenon as the sun casting infinite sunrises & sunsets onto the surface of the moon 😌

The images were processed in lightroom, increasing the dynamic range & emphasizing the natural colours picked up by my camera

EXIF: f9-f11, ISO 100, 560 mm, shutter speeds: 1/250 --> 20 s
