Moon Over Croda Bianca

A photo composite of multiple exposures. From the photographer: “I Wake up at 4 to photograph the eclipse, I dreamed all night that something went wrong and when the alarm was sounded, I catapulted to check the weather. Well, clear sky and high moon in the sky but the only negative is the -9 that marks the thermometer. This time, for reasons of time, I had to choose a location near the workplace but not bad because the view is fantastic, the village of Lorenzago, with its lighting and particular structure looks like a crib and the moon that is slowly changing aspect, makes everything more magical. I prepare all the equipment, telephoto and wide-angle lenses not ready for shooting.

I perform a shot every 5 minutes, the moon advances quickly in the earth’s shadow, the show is always magical. I remember that since I started to photograph the sky in 2009, the moon eclipse was an event that I waited for a long time because until 2015 I could not see it. And now in less than 6 months, here it happens twice … And the time comes when the moon turns at sunset, it is 6.30 and our satellite is approaching inexorably towards the Croda Bianca, a 2,840 m high massif of the Marmarole that is located in the municipality of Calalzo di Cadore but overlooking up to Lorenzago.
