This was the case last month\u00a0when I was in Big Bend with my photography friends taking advantage of this rare supermoon event. The moon was set to rise about 30 minutes after the sunset on the 14th so we were able to capture the sunset against the Chisos Mountains and then the subsequent moonrise\u00a0over the mountain range. Unfortunately, it&#8217;s very hard to get a good foreground while shooting from long-range with a super telephoto lens. So, I decided to try to emulate what I saw by creating this composite sequence. The entire sequence took about three\u00a0minutes to complete. Of course, it was much more spectacular in person but I thought it would be interesting to try and replicate it nonetheless.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10572\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10572\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/20161114-badlands-sunset-ag2-edit-3-e1480605242412.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"10572\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2016\/12\/supermoonrise\/supermoonrise-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/20161114-badlands-sunset-ag2-edit-3-e1480631301508.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,1000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
