Lunar Halo by melvin nicholson
#photography #moon
Context: After taking my somewhat popular Fogbow photo back in Nov 2016 in Glencoe, Scotland and my Sundog photo (a form of sunbow around the sun) Feb 2019 in Reine, Lofoten, the only image I was after to complete my 'Bow Trilogy' was a lunar halo and yesterday morning I managed to complete my wish.
Thanks to both my clients Cerise and Neale for making me aware that there was a lunar halo taking place while I was loading up our minibus with everyone's luggage en-route back to the airport after a really enjoyable week away on my Lofoten winter workshop,
I turned around to see this incredible, huge lunar halo that filled the sky and the light of the moon reflecting beautifully on the water of the ocean in the distance. It was amazing to witness. The temperature was around -1°c.
I quickly whipped out my Canon EOS R complete with their 24-70mm f4 lens and fired off just two shots (it's all I had time for). I used Benro's superb little Travel Angel tripod which thankfully provided a stable platform even when stood in deep snow.
