The Blood Moon - Supermoon 21/01/2019

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

On the 21st January 2019, there was a Supermoon/Blood moon.

As an aspiring photographer, I obviously wanted to try and capture this with my camera, so I decided to stay awake all night until 4am to try and shoot the moon in it's full glory.

Ideally I wanted to get the red moon/blood moon, which wasn't due to happen here in the UK until 4am, but unfortunately by that time, the sky had been completely covered with cloud.

I am so happy that I decided to stay awake all night rather than set my alarm for 3am, otherwise I would have missed any chance of capturing the supermoon.

The following shots were taken at 11pm and 1am while the moon was still visible.

I hope you like them!

This one was taken at 1am with a soft red glow to the clouds and is my favourite of the 3 shots...

This was taken at 11pm. with the trees reaching towards the moon...

I totally missed the blood moon! I don't know where I've been but I missed it all. Your pictures are fabulous! I love seeing your progress. Definitely worth staying up all night :)

Thank you :D
How could you miss it?!! I think the next one is in 2029... put it in your diary ;)

Wonderful shots and dedicated to stay up all night to get them, what a pity the clouds spoiled your chance of the red Moon, but the one with the trees is my favorite it is fabulous

Thank you! :) Yes, I was a little disappointed that I didn't get the red moon, but I am happy with what I managed to get :D

you should be happy with what you got I love them all :)

Wow, you did get some very nice shots of the moon! I also decided against setting my alarm for 4am to see the eclipse... luckily, it was also very cloudy on this side of the Channel as well!

I love the 1st shot so much!

MY kids were obsessed about the moon that night though!

PS: It is weird to see people's real names... I think I will stick to "bullies".

Thank you :) Haha I will call myself Bullies if you prefer ;) It is just the last 2 years, so many people have taken my username the wrong way lol I really should have thought about it more before I signed up! xD

Ha ha, Yes... The first time I saw your Username in Discord, I did raise an eyebrow!

haha It is all about the beautiful bullies! xD

One with trees is just amazing...can look for so long into it.

Thank you :) I think the trees almost look like they are pulling you up towards the moon

That's amazing; I've never captured the moon yet, so when I see someone that has it's pretty good

Thank you @wales :) We had a video lesson provided to us by our photography tutor during the daytime before the supermoon, so I swatted up before hand and set my camera up as he showed us. I am pretty pleased with the results as it is only the sigma 18 - 300mm lens

Beautiful moon photos! I love that first one with the rusty red clouds.

Thank you Melinda! :D Yes, that is my favourite one too. I am pleased I managed to capture at least some of the red glow, even though it wasn't the blood moon I wanted.
Cheryl :)

Looks like you are learning good stuff in your photo class!

Wow, all of them look amazing! The way clouds look in the second one makes it my favorite, it is like a portal. good job!

Thank you! :D Yes, it was getting quite cloudy at that point so it was a lucky shot :)

This was so amazing clicks from you. Love that

Lovely photos! Great job and yikes !! I couldn’t stay awake. So happy you did as these are amazing

Lots of coffee that night haha Thank you! :)

Really great photos, I love the second one... but all 3 are beautiful
Thank you for share your beautiful work
