B-25 / Moon dbl exposure
captured by D4 / 200-400 w/TC-14e
and neither are most of those sent to me by folks. Why? A Supermoon is “brighter-larger” visually than the moon we see normally. The photos sent me were nice, I’m sure a blast to take but just taking a picture of the moon in the sky, be it super or not could be any full moon, couldn’t it? If you walked outside last night and looked up at the moon, depending on where you were it might have looked brighter but without some reference, it didn’t look any bigger. This all comes down to the classic problem we all face every time we go to take a photograph, storytelling! In the photo above, it’s a double exposure, one for the B-25 and the other for the moon. But in the moon’s case, I zoomed way in the hell out to 560mm (200-400 w/TC-14e) to make it so bloody large in the frame (and took a few attempts), “Supermoon” size. It’s definitely not my best double exposure but it was a fun way of saying in one click that the crews at the Doolittle Raid Reunion where burning the midnight oil to get planes prepped. It’s all about storytelling!
