I photographed the moonrise over Castellan Mountain at Big Bend National Park during a very rare event. Not only was the moon rising at the same time as the sun was setting but the moon was larger than normal. I really liked how the golden glow of the sunset lit up the mountain while the moonrise had a hint of “moon burst”. It was truly a unique event. I also liked the contrast between the Tuff field and the volcanic rock layers of the mountain.<\/p>\n

I recently posted a Moon in Motion<\/a>\u00a0sequence that I captured shortly after I captured this one.<\/p>\n

This year, the full moons of October, November and December all take place when the moon is at its closest point in its orbit around the Earth, a so-called super moon.\u00a0The full moon was not\u00a0only the closest and brightest super moon of 2016 but also the largest since 1948 and it won’t come this close to Earth again until 2034.<\/p>\n

Moonrise over Castellan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This image was taken with my\u00a0Canon EOS 5DS<\/a>\u00a0using my\u00a0Canon EF 16-35mm f\/4 Lens<\/a>\u00a0set on 24mm. The camera was set on Manual\u00a0mode with the aperture set at f\/8, shutter speed at 15 seconds and the ISO set at 100. I used a tripod for stability. This is a single image processed\u00a0in Lightroom then finalized in\u00a0Photoshop using Nik Color Efex Pro.<\/p>\n
