Super Blue Blood Moon

Well…trying to photograph the super moon was a challenge and a half!  Starting with part of our chosen location being sealed off.  The promenade at Cromer is being re-surfaced but rather than climbing over safety barriers to get to it, we found an alternative route (the long-way round of course) to find a suitable viewing spot to take our photos from.
B had found (from her Photographers Ephemera app) which side of the Cromer Pier we needed to be, so having found our spot we then had to contend with biting cold wind and an increasingly aggressive tide that was splashing over the sea wall at us.  However, it was so worth it, the moon rose pink and large from the horizon and happily we could see it was going to rise behind the pier as we hoped.  In the end it rose so fast that B and I were racing up and down the promenade clutching our tripods and gear just to keep up with it as seemingly raced across the sky.
I can’t pretend that my photos are brilliant, it was so difficult to get the exposure right, either the pier was all in blackness and the moon was just right, or the pier was right and the moon was over-exposed.  I’m sure there will be some excellent photos appearing on blip but having played around with levels a bit, I’m reasonably pleased.  We have our photography class tomorrow so we can get some tips from Julia, our teacher, to find out what we could have done better.
The main blip is the moon above the Cromer Lifeboat Station (the red squiggle in the sky is the lights of a passing aircraft) and the extra a view of the moon over the pier.
Certainly an experience we’re so glad we witnessed.
