I spent hours this weekend planning for the upcoming super moon, trying to figure out where and how to capture it. In the end, I decided to stay right here in Southern Oregon and photograph its rise over Mt Mcloughin.
This is one of the most technically difficult photos I have ever taken, especially when factoring in the pre-planning, but it is probably because of those challenges that I am so proud with the outcome.
I truly hope you all enjoy it and am open to any questions!
For those interested in the technical stuff, I have posted the two RAWs needed in a comment below. This was a "simple" two exposure blend. The entire scene was shot at 5" / F4.5 / ISO 100, with the moon shot at exactly the same time and settings except 1/160 for the shutter speed. Giving the moon its detail back that our eyes can see without making it look unnatural was the challenge!
