Bonita Springs, Florida. The lunar eclipse on November 8, 2022.
Lunar eclipses turn the moon red as Earth's atmosphere bends light around our planet's shadow. The same physics that makes sunsets red makes eclipsed moons glow with what's sometimes called “blood moon” colour.
The full eclipse lasted long enough to compose and shoot multiple frames, capturing the deepest red at totality. The surrounding stars became visible as the moon's bright light was blocked, adding context to the cosmic event.
Photographing the moon always involves fighting the brightness differential between the lunar surface and the surrounding sky. During an eclipse, that challenge reverses — the moon becomes relatively dim, allowing longer exposures that bring out the red colour.
Limited edition Chromaluxe metal print. Ultra gloss finish brings out the deep red of the eclipsed moon.
