Neat things about tonight's almost full moon:
- It will rise and set about as far south as you'll ever see it
- It will never get very high in the sky (a mere +6 degrees above the horizon maximum in the north of England, for example).
Some unique photo opportunities!

A stunning sunrise in New Britain, Papua New Guinea, taken while moored at Fathers Reef near Lolobau Island.
I think the two larger volcanoes are Ulawun (middle) and Bamus (right).

The full moon rising over Denver International Airport. It's a slightly trickier shot to get than you might think due to viewpoints and angles.
Here's a short video on how it was planned and executed: youtu.be/JP8AnsW5QZc

It's almost a year since the great solar storm of May 2024. I was looking back on some of the shots from northern Colorado from that night.
What do you think about the B&W processing? Fine tuning the color filter hue in SilverEfex vastly changes each shot.

The pair of nesting red-tailed hawks we saw last year in the middle of Boulder have returned again this year, it appears.
This shot is from last year - looking forward to another attempt to capture some behaviour once again!

Another from Durham Cathedral, this time the interior, shot mid-morning on a sunny day.
While the building mostly pre-dates the Gothic style, its windows still admit more than enough light to create some beautiful interior effects.

The glorious interior of Durham Cathedral, shot mid-morning on completely clear day.
When there are no clouds to soften the light on the landscape, buildings such as this can be at their most stunning.

One year ago today! The 2024 total eclipse as seen north of Torreón, Mexico.
I thought we’d be clouded out, but at the last minute the clouds thinned and we had quite the show.

Earlier this week, the UK Met Office reported that it was the sunniest March since 1910 for some in the UK. This week appears to be continuing that trend!
