Lunar Eclipse

A photo composite of multiple exposures. From the photographer: “A narrow path to a small plateau called Pared de Roberto offers a wonderful place to observe the eclipse high above the Caldera de Taburiente. A multiple exposure with a stationary camera and a wide-angle lens impressively shows the entire course of this total lunar eclipse over one of the most spectacular landscapes on our planet, the Caldera de Taburiente, a gigantic caldera on the Canary Island of La Palma. As the moon moves around its own diameter in about 2 minutes due to the daily rotation of the earth, an interval of 6 minutes was chosen for this series of images. The foreground shot was taken with a long exposure time shortly before the full moon moved into the field of view.  A windless night allows the making of a complete row over a period of nearly five hours. For the series, the exposure time was steadily adjusted as the eclipse progressed.”

Technical details: Multi exposure, 49 frames, one for the foreground, 16-35 mm @ 16 mm | f/5,0 | ISO 200 | 1/400 Sek. – 6 sec.
