I got all prepared here at home to take pictures of the full Moon rising through the pine trees using a Canon 70D camera and a 400mm lens set up on a tripod.
I continued taking images for a little while as the Moon climbed up the horizon, the different colours of the rising Moon were quite remarkable going from a deep ruddy red to a soft golden colour, which is shown in my image.
Each full Moon has many names and in the northern hemisphere the July full Moon is called a Buck Moon, Thunder Moon or Guru Moon…I so name this full Moon here in Australia 'Kangaroo Moon' because of all the kangaroos on my observing field :-)
Other capturing details, Canon 70D camera on tripod with a Tamron 400mm lens set at 400 mm, image was cropped and is a composite (two images at different exposures to capture what was seen in the sky) and combined in Photoshop CS4.
