Join US for a unique opportunity to SHOOT THE SUPER SNOW FULL MOON
RISING BEHIND THE FREEDOM TOWER ON TUESDAY NIGHT (very cool), Feb.
19th, 2019.
(The moon will not be blood red on this night so don't be deceived by
the above image.)The Super Snow Moon will be the biggest, brightest
and closest super moon of the year.
The "super moon" part indicates that the moon will be a full moon and
at its closest point of orbit to earth (called the "perigee" at around
the same time, making it look bigger and brighter than usual. The
"snow" moon" (also called the "hunger" or "storm" moon) gets its name
from Native American Culture.
February full moons were nicknamed "snow" by Native American tribes
because of the heavy amount of snowfall during the month.
Our tour leader, Malcolm Kahn, will start the evening at 4:30 p.m. by
providing a half hour of instruction for those who want or need it.
We'll start setting up to shoot at 5:00 p.m. and the serious shooting
will begin at 5:50 p.m. when the moon will break the horizon.
Our shooting location will be around 12 miles away from the Freedom
Tower. As most of you probably know that when shooting from that
distance and using a long lens, lens compression creates an image that
compresses the distance between the moon and the Freedom Tower and
makes the moon look much larger than it really is. THE EFFECT IS
STUNNING.
Suggested Equipment:
- A 400 mm lens on a crop sensor with a 1.4 extender. This will give
you an optical reach of approximately 824 mm which will maximize the
compression effect . If you don't have the proper equipment, rent it
what you need from Unique. A one or two day rental is really "chump
change" when one considers the results.
While you can shoot this scene with a shorter reach lens, the effect
will not be as dramatic.
Hope to share a unique experience with you.
