On the 21st January 2019, there was a Supermoon/Blood moon.
As an aspiring photographer, I obviously wanted to try and capture this with my camera, so I decided to stay awake all night until 4am to try and shoot the moon in it's full glory.
Ideally I wanted to get the red moon/blood moon, which wasn't due to happen here in the UK until 4am, but unfortunately by that time, the sky had been completely covered with cloud.
I am so happy that I decided to stay awake all night rather than set my alarm for 3am, otherwise I would have missed any chance of capturing the supermoon.
The following shots were taken at 11pm and 1am while the moon was still visible.
I hope you like them!
This one was taken at 1am with a soft red glow to the clouds and is my favourite of the 3 shots...
This was taken at 11pm. with the trees reaching towards the moon...
This was taken at 9pm, a clear sky and good view of the Supermoon...
Thank you so much for stopping by!
Much love, Cheryl xx

I totally missed the blood moon! I don't know where I've been but I missed it all. Your pictures are fabulous! I love seeing your progress. Definitely worth staying up all night :)

Wonderful shots and dedicated to stay up all night to get them, what a pity the clouds spoiled your chance of the red Moon, but the one with the trees is my favorite it is fabulous

Wow, you did get some very nice shots of the moon! I also decided against setting my alarm for 4am to see the eclipse... luckily, it was also very cloudy on this side of the Channel as well!
I love the 1st shot so much!
MY kids were obsessed about the moon that night though!
PS: It is weird to see people's real names... I think I will stick to "bullies".

Thank you Melinda! :D Yes, that is my favourite one too. I am pleased I managed to capture at least some of the red glow, even though it wasn't the blood moon I wanted.

Those are some great shots! I think last year there was one, or it was a normal moon but I could see it from my room, so I ended up taking some shots myself.

Thank you @wales :) We had a video lesson provided to us by our photography tutor during the daytime before the supermoon, so I swatted up before hand and set my camera up as he showed us. I am pretty pleased with the results as it is only the sigma 18 - 300mm lens

Looks like staying all night paid off. Gorgeous photos and I especially love the second one. Staring from the trees below I'm drawn in with the distant moon embraced by the clouds.

Well done and good instincts. One better take photos before and after - at any time that there's something interesting around the main event since the main event itself could be more often than not disappointing from our perspectives.
But treasures may be hidden around it.
