Supermoon (explored)

Sometimes a photo is all about planning. Getting a photo of my home town church tower, in the blue hour, with a full moon, is really only possible on 2 evenings a year, and in addition you need clear weather. Thanks to Photopills I was able to work out exactly where to stand and when to stand there to get this shot. Even as I was waiting, I did not realise the moon was going to pass perfectly above the spire of the tower. For a while it looked like it might pass just behind the spire, so I was immensely pleased when I saw this. In the last minute I did have to move a few meters to my right, but then I nailed it and I'm still quite proud when I look at it.
