2014 12 07 Moonrise - Valleyview Drive
I set up at Valleyview Drive for one last Moon opp for the year, on the evening of Dec 7, 2014, for the (near) Full Cold Moon rising over downtown Edmonton. The temperature was around -10 C with no wind and the sky was very clear except for some haze on the eastern horizon. Having shot from this location many times over the years, and because this was a dark rise, I decided to zoom in a lot for that large Moon illusion effect. This composite image spans about 22 minutes, with the Moon about 36 hours past full (97.5%). The sequence nicely shows the changes in color and brightness of the Moon as it rose.
