Night Rising Super Moon - Eastern Canada May 5th 2012

Rising Super Moon - Eastern Canada May 5th 2012 · **3 Likes**

Just as it rises above the horizon, the "Super Moon" takes a pleasing hue.
I am wondering why the edge of the moon looks "jagged" ... perhaps due to the humidity ?
Any way at all to make it "rounder" at the edges? Or is this normal and acceptable?
40% cropped for the "magnification" effect. No other PP except for a bit of "curve" adjustment.
Enjoy!

Thank you !

I had to drive quite a bit to get out of my small town and get a good spot.
It was well worth it.

I was surprised myself when it appeared on the horizon.
I can only imagine what it would have looked like with a 500mm lens!!

I wanted to go with the TC (1.7x) but with the IQ would have suffered miserably.

Very nice use of the farmlands to give a good perspective of the size of the moon. Looks great to me and thanks for sharing with us. Bob

The "jagged" edges are caused by the different thermal layers in the atmosphere.
They show in a photo because the camera freezes the motion. Our eyes tend to blend the results, making it appear smooth.

And beautiful shot too. I'd leave it as is myself.

OMG !! we'll all be CRUSHED !!
Very nice picture.

IMHO, your shot (so far) takes the prize for most "super" of the Supermoon shots! Excellent contrast with the farm and trees.

Thanks for the comment, Bob!
Yeah, the farm makes it look bigger ... it's all a matter of "comparative" objects in the scene.
