Explanation:
As the Sun set, a bright Full Moon rose on July 10.
Its golden light illuminates clouds drifting through
southern hemisphere skies in this
well-composed telephoto image
from Conceiццёo do Coitц, Bahia, Brazil.
The brightest
lunar phase
is captured here with both a
short and long exposure.
The two exposures were combined to reveal details of the
lunar surface in bright moonlight
and a subtle iridescence along the dramatically
backlit cloudscape.
Of course, July's Full Moon is a winter moon in the southern hemisphere.
But in the north it's
known to some
as the Thunder Moon,
likely a nod to the sounds of
this northern summer month's typically stormy weather.
