13 Images of the Blood Moon That Aren’t Photoshopped to Hell

13 Images of the Blood Moon That Aren’t Photoshopped to Hell

Searching for photos of last night’s Blood Moon was a tricky endeavour. Every time a Supermoon occurs, social media is flooded with photos from the event. Last night’s rare Blood Moon amplified that social media sharing by 100 fold. Apparently everyone read my article about how to properly capture the Blood Moon, and they all ran out to photograph it!

Well, while I love that people are getting out and shooting, I wish people would be more honest about what the viewer is looking at. If it’s a composite of different locations, times, etc, that’s great! Just let the viewers know. Please don’t try to pass it off as a straight out of camera photo. Most anyone with a semi-trained eye can tell that it’s not.

Anyway, while searching on social media and photo sharing websites like Facebook, Instagram and 500px, I think I have finally found 13 great images that aren’t Photoshopped to all hell. It took me all day, believe it or not. Yes, the sequence photos require layers, but that’s not the compositing photoshop I am talking about.

So feast your eyes on 13 (mostly) real images of last night’s Blood Moon.

We would love to add to this collection, so if you have an awesome photo of last night’s Blood Moon, post a link in the comments! Must have some kind of foreground element to be considered.

Moon location is a bit of a problem too. In other words if that’s not where the moon goes but what made the picture “pretty” and umm, I hate to break this to ya.

Only 4 exposures blended and nothing changed. One for the sky, one for the foreground, one for my self portrait and one for the moon

David Worthington October 3, 2015 - 1:51 pm

Many of these images actually are heavily photo shopped. You create the impression that they are only layered in order to display the transition, however that is not the case. Some are mixed focal length, wide for foreground and long for the moon creating the cut and paste that changes the moons relative size to the actual environment. Others have the moon moved such that it’s nether an actual capture nor a representation of the actual travel of the moon. Some are both. I understand giving the novice a hall pass to play in the “big boy game” , not wishing to rain on somebody’s viral parade and also selling the platform to display them. But suggesting they are actual images or even have the integrity of real images is quite demeaning to those of us who are actually capable of doing it.

Michael Bonocore October 6, 2015 - 4:27 pm

Well @david_worthington:disqus, I can tell you the example image in my how to article does not have mixed focal length, as I took it…and it is one exposure…and I don’t know how to use Photoshop, so I wouldn’t even be capable of layering two different focal length images :)

Good post. I learn one thing tougher on different blogs everyday. It should at all times be stimulating to read content material from other writers and practice a little bit something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether or not you don’t mind. Natually I’ll offer you a hyperlink on your net blog. Thanks for sharing.
