The first full moon of Spring 2020 was a 'super moon', where the moon's orbit takes it closer to the earth than normal and thus the moon appears larger in the sky than it usually does.
So I was out on my front path, camera and big lens pointing skywards, to photograph the event.
On the evening in question there was a lot of high, broken cloud passing across the sky, alternatively covering and exposing the face of the moon.
So as well as filming this real time video of the moon and clouds, I also shot two time lapse videos on the same evening, Moon and Clouds Timelapse #1, and Full Moon and Clouds Timelapse #4.
Rather a beautiful evening on the whole!
