🌕🌑 Blood Moon – Sept 7, 2025 🌑🌕
I had never seen a blood moon or a lunar eclipse before so I decided to change that on this day. With low expectations I grabbed my gear and walked to a nearby field around 7:30 PM hoping to finally witness and capture it with my camera.
After finding a good spot, I set everything up and started waiting… and waiting. Behind me the sun was setting beautifully but in the east where the moon was supposed to rise a thick blanket of clouds covered the sky. My hopes slowly faded while I got eaten alive by mosquitoes and the air grew colder by the minute.
At some point I took a phone photo of the cloudy sky just to document the situation and that’s when I suddenly saw it. The moon. Half hidden in the clouds. Blood red. I immediately turned my camera towards it but I only had about 5 minutes before the eclipse started to fade and the sunlight hit the moon again turning it gray.
Because the moon was still barely visible and my focus was off at first, I only managed to capture one photo of the blood moon. I had planned to wait for the full moon later on but the cold got to me. Fog started rolling in, I was soaked and my gear was soaked so I „gave up“. But honestly, I walked home frozen but happy.
The next day, I edited the photos and I’m pretty satisfied with how it turned out. It was such a magical experience to see it with my own eyes and through the lens. Definitely worth it🌕💜
