There's something marvellous about the lunar cycles, as regular as clockwork (even better in fact!) on a 28 day timetable.
Each different phase offers a photographic opportunity, depending on the cloud cover of course!
I took advantage of a clear evening sky in late February 2021 to take a few thousand rapid fire exposures of the full moon rising through the branches of a tree in the middle distance, in order to create this time lapse video.
And I didn't have to go far to get the shots, no further than my front path in fact, which was just as well with Wales in a full Covid lockdown at the time!
In post processing I decided to add some suitable backing music to add to the tranquility of the view, so thanks to Patrick Patrikos for the use of his 'Glacier' track.
