Red Moon Rising (Original Photos in Sequence)steemCreated with Sketch.

in #photography8 years ago

The moon rise occurred a little before mid-night on 16 March 2017. This is not the planet Mars or a blood moon rising. As the moon rose above the horizon it took on a red-hue much like the sunrise does.

Photographs taken 16-17 March 2017 in eastern Nebraska.

Waning Gibbous Moon Rise in Sequence

Rising Gibbous Moon

As the rising moon broke above the horizon it took on a red-hue. There are power-lines off in the distance. You can see them move across the face of the moon as it rises.

Thank you! Yes, I too was surprised by the deep red of this moon rise.

My sunrise photos also have a lot of red on the horizon too. The red hue is just an atmospheric effect.

Steem on,
Mike
