Super Harvest Blood Moon Eclipse over Mount Shuksan

Nikon D810 | 80-400 | 400mm | f/8 | Foreground: 2.5 seconds @ ISO 1600 | Moon: 1 second @ ISO 3200

 

September 2015’s blood moon eclipse rising over Mount Shuksan in Washington State, shot on a rented 80-400mm. This is a composite of two images – one to capture the foreground while there was still enough light and another for the moon as it rose above the mountain about 20 minutes later. This shoot was planned out in advance with the amazing Photo Pills app and a bit of trigonometry. I'd be happy to share the spreadsheet for anyone who is interested.

 

I'm about 30% into a much more ambitious composite of the lunar eclipse. Stay tuned.
