full moon silhouettes

This made it onto APOD awhile back. Well worth a look. This is breathtaking. At least to me. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehulHtKfpuM&w=560&h=315]

Full Moon Silhouettes is a real time video of the moon rising over the Mount Victoria Lookout in Wellington, New Zealand. People had gathered up there this night to get the best view possible of the moon rising. I captured the video from 2.1km away on the other side of the city. It's something that I've been wanting to photograph for a long time now, and a lot of planning and failed attempts had taken place. Finally, during moon rise on the 28th January 2013, everything fell into place and I got my footage.

The artist is Australian photographer Mark Gee. Background music is Tenderness by British musician Dan Phillipson (available royalty free up on PremiumBeat).
