Lunar eclipse

With all the hype leading up to the lunar eclipse I thought I head out to Lake Pegasus as the cloud forecast looked promising. The moon was fully eclipsed as it rose above the horizon. But as it was still early-ish I did not see the moon until about 8:20 pm. My plan was to capture the different phases in a composite. The moon was captured between 8:35 pm and 9:50 pm. The foreground was taken at 9:15 pm. I captured 2 images for each moon shot. One for the darks and one for the lights. Denoised in DxO PhotoLab and composited using Affinity Photo. The result isn't perfect but I am fairly happy with it given this is my first attempt.

 

Foreground: Sony A7RV, Sony 16-35mm GM, f/18, 30 s, ISO 1600

 

Moon darks: Sony A1, Tamron 50-400mm, 1/15sec, f/6.3, ISO 3200

 

Moon lights: Sony A1, Tamron 50-400mm, 1/800sec, f/6.3, ISO 3200
