Tonight's Super Bright Super Moon

| |
Did you all get out and see the Super Moon? Tonight, the moon is the closest it has been to earth since 1948!


It was so bright, I actually had to look away from the camera as I took some of these pictures.


I was zooming way in. Something I've noticed about photographing Super Moons is that they give off a pink and purple glow on my camera's screen as I'm taking my pictures. That doesn't happen when I take photos of the regular moon. Unfortunately, the pink and purple doesn't show up in the pictures.

You can see a bit of the ring around the moon that I saw, though.


I like the way the tree branch appears to be holding up the moon in this one.

 
I took a photo using the flash and got this neat, orange glow. There's a bit of green there too for some reason.


It had been a bit cloud covered at first.

 
Last night, the moon was looking more gold and not just with the flash. It was that Harvest moon color.


Isn't that pretty?

The moon had started out as a sort of brightness behind the clouds. I stood out there watching it, camera in hand. In what felt like a thoughtful move from the moon, it rose up out of the clouds as I stood there.


Rising...


Interestingly, the branches in front of the moon look a little transparent. And if you magnify this photo, you might see this light greenish line curving over the top of the moon.

The moon won't be this close to us again until 2034!

If any of you took some pictures of tonight's Super Moon, I'd like to see them! It's possible that the moon looked a little different where you are.
