Chances are, if you were alive last week, you found it impossible to miss the hype surrounding the super moon which would be gracing our skies for the first time in over 70 years. Photographing the moon is one of my favourite things so I was interested to see whether or not there would be a notable difference in size.
On the official night of the super moon, Sydney was covered by a blanket of cloud and only snatches of the moon could be seen (once it was high in the sky, sans any ‘super’ qualities).
But the following night provided far clearer skies and another opportunity to see an engorged (almost) full moon. While Sydney’s eastern beaches provided a fantastic vantage point to see the moon rise from the ocean, I opted for somewhere a little more local in Ramsgate and was pretty impressed by what transpired. The giant orange orb emerging from behind Port Botany looked otherworldly and the amount of light it shone across the bay was incredible. It was remarkable how quickly it rose (and shrunk) but it was perceptibly bigger than the regular moon upon rising.
