Stunning Video: Full Moon Silhouettes
_Featured_, Videos Tuesday, February 5th, 2013
YouTube description:
This is my “Full Moon Silhouettes” short… It is a real time video of the moon rising over the Mount Victoria Lookout in Wellington, New Zealand. People had gathered up there this night to get the best view possible of the moon rising. I captured the video from 2.1km away on the other side of the city. It’s something that I’ve been wanting to photograph for a long time now, and a lot of planning and failed attempts had taken place. Finally, during moon rise on the 28th January 2013, everything fell into place and I got my footage.
The video is as it came off the memory card and there has been no manipulation whatsoever. Technically it was quite a challenge to get the final result. I shot it on a Canon ID MkIV in video mode with a Canon EF 500mm f/4L and a Canon 2x extender II, giving me the equivalent focal length of 1300mm.

Wow beautiful! I love Wellington
Ohhh Ross this was the most magnificent site. My daughter and her friends were having a celebration in the back yard, our back yard look out over the sea and this image above was what we saw. It was totally breathtaking and the children having so much fun just tripled the pleasure!
