Description Happy (belated) Moon Festival! (it was on the 14th, but it was cloudy on that day. Besides, there's a saying that the moon is roundest on the day after, this is taken is the day after that 16th, so close enough XD)

Anyway, went to lakeside to take pics of sunset, and I stayed and saw the moonrise.

I wasn't actually planning on doing a progressive thing, otherwise I would've stayed in the same spot and used the same zoom XD

Only when I got back did I decide to do this, 'cause it's interesting to see the moon change colours (and size, but that's an optical illusion) as it rises. No colour changes were made (yes it really is that red when it first rose), only cropping and slight brightness adjustment.

It wasn't actually that dark at first, I just had to use faster shutter speed to get a sharp picture due to lack of tripod ( ;__; )

From left to right, the photos were taken at:
7:50pm, 7:53pm, 7:58pm, 8:03pm

Canon PowerShot A590 IS

I have only seen red moon one time. It's always orange when it shows up on the horizon.

Too many levels of awesome! Love the color changes as well! I wish my camera were good enough to be able to pick up moonlight... mine just turn out looking all horrible and grainy. D:

I live out in the country so I get to watch the pretty red-orange-yellowness of the rising moon a lot. =3
I never thought to photograph it, having not realized some people may never have seen it before. XD
Well, you take better pictures than me anyways. XD

This is b-e-u-ti-ful!
a fave for suuure! X3 It looks so good, and pretty. @_@

Excellent pictures. δΈ­η§‹θŠ‚εΏ«δΉ! :mooncake:

I have watched it once, 2 years ago with Cel, and it is indeed red. We sat, completely confuzzled, and thought up a dozen theories before realising 10 mins later it was only the moon. You're facepalming now, aren't you? XD

Did you take it on Tuesday 16 September, which is actually the 17th on the Lunar Calendar? It's still so round.

lol, did you think it was a UFO? XD

yes, I took it on the 17th of the lunar calendar, it's still pretty round

really hard to see. Maybe you should make the dimensions bigger?

MapleRose In reply to stormygate [2008-09-17 04:54:11 +0000 UTC]

okay, I made it bigger; I didn't want people to look too closely at it 'cause the image quality is not all that good (digital camera not all that good with low-light photos ; )
