Super Moon
The Super Moon rose just a few minutes after sunset, which gave the moon a wonderful red / orange glow to it as it rose through the layer of smog / mist that was sitting along the horizon.
Seen here rising above Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight, across the Solent and with the yachts of Keyhaven and the Keyhaven Marshes in the foreground.
I took this shot using the Nikon 70-200VR lens, and then switched to my Sigma 300mm so I could zoom in even closer. However, the Sigma developed a problem with its autofocus mechanism, which I did not realise until afterwards, so this is one of the only shots of the Super Moon I managed to capture. Enjoy it!
