Total Lunar Eclipse Close-up Immersed in a Layer of Clouds
Alqueva´s Dark Sky Reserve | By Year: 2025 | Clouds and Fogs Heavens | Eclipses on Earth | Moon in close up | The Moon | Time Lapses Photography
After finishing this image I thought….well many people will probably think that this is AI, because it seems that the moon is in between the clouds which would be odd and impossible of course, but no, this is not AI! It is a true image of the Eclipsed Moon as seen behind an intense layer of passing clouds, creating this crazy optical illusion. Below a short time lapse sequence of this moment shows how real it was. Using an HDR technique I could then recover the details on the bright side of the moon, the region not fully immersed in the Earth Shadow. Captured with a 600mm lens from Costa da Caparica, Portugal.
PT: Depois de terminar esta imagem, pensei… bem, muitas pessoas provavelmente pensarão que isto é IA, porque parece que a lua está entre as nuvens, o que seria estranho e impossível, claro, mas não, isto não é IA! Mas uma imagem verdadeira da Lua eclipsada vista por detrás de uma camada intensa de nuvens passageiras, criando esta louca ilusão de ótica. Abaixo, uma curta sequência de time-lapse deste momento, revela o quão real foi este evento celestial. Utilizando uma técnica HDR, consegui recuperar os detalhes do lado brilhante da Lua, a região não totalmente imersa na sombra da Terra. Captado com uma lente de 600 mm a partir da Costa da Caparica, Portugal.
