TE ARAI MOONRISE

New Zealand Landscape Photographer

Last night's moonrise that look like a sunrise!

With a rare clear winter night in Auckland, there were a good couple of hours to get some astro in before the moon rose. With an epic time-lapse fail, I ended up doing a few panoramas and then waiting for the moon to rise...which looked pretty spectacular over the Te Arai pinnacle-esque rocks.

The colour that a rising moon throws into the atmosphere is rather dynamic and unique and makes for a colourful night sky.
