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!

Super Moon or Perigree Moon Over St. Petersburg Florida May 5 2012
in Fine Art, Photo Story
What is sure to be one of the most photographed subjects of the year is the so-called Super Moon or Perigree Moon that rose in the twilight sky tonight on May 5, 2012. Luckily for me I had a good vantage point of the Super Moon right from my back patio allowing me to make the HDR image above. I chose to center the moon between two palm trees. Uncharacteristically, I did not try any other compositions, so I hope I wake up tomorrow still liking how I framed this shot and not regretting trying a simpler framing!
Did you photograph the super moon tonight?
