Super Blue Blood Moon 2018 Albuquerque New Mexico

The Super Blue Blood Moon over the Sandia Mountains 2018 in Albuquerque, New Mexico - Nikon D7200 with Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8D

I was actually out on a commercial portrait shoot near Petroglyph National Monument in west Albuquerque when driving home I saw the Super Blue Blood Moon rising over the Sandia Mountains.  At a good vantage point I pulled over, popped the trunk, and took out my Nikon D7200 which already had a 80-200mm lens on it to get some shots!

Back in my car I notice this cloud looking either like a UFO flying by the moon or as if the cloud was the tail of a comet making the moon look like it was soaring through the atmosphere!  

Even though I was tired and had already done two complete commercial portrait shoots that day, a real photographer never passes up the opportunity to get a great shot.  Never.
