| Super Moon Over NYC |

    To license through Getty Images please click here.

    Another shot from last night's super moon event. Again, I ended up taking two shots, one exposing for the moon, and another exposing for the foreground and then merging the two in CS5.

    The cool thing about last night as you watched the moon come up was that at the beginning the moon had an orange hue to it as it came above the horizon and it looked big. But as it rose into the night sky it became smaller, whiter and brighter.

    Really was a very cool event to witness and document.

      That's the kind of shot many of us in Anchorage where hoping for last night. Unfortunately, sunset (and genuine darkness) came long before the moon rise. Beautifully done!

      emellin66 Yes, I had a coat and we made it back just in time from going back and getting Gunnar's coat. I was afraid we were going to miss this.
