As promised in the previous post, here is my Total Solar Eclipse photo gallery featuring the best photos I could find online. I wish even just one of these photos was mine. But I could not travel for the event, and the UK was not blessed with the spectacle (it was also raining yesterday). I did capture the Super Blood Wolf Moon eclipse though: it's here. The Gallery The cover image is...

Experience nature’s greatest sight — a total solar eclipse! On April 8, 2024, the moon's shadow will cross Mexico, the United States, and Canada. This spectacular total solar eclipse will amaze many millions of people. Will you be there? LIVE UPDATES: Canton Becker, the author of a super-useful Google Calendar add-on for Astrophotographers, has made a map to superimpose the eclipse path with weather predictions. Keep an eye on the current conditions...

What is a Full Moon Photography workshop? I'm sure by now you have seen that NASA often publishes striking images of the full moon aligned with famous landmarks. There's a photo by an Italian photographer published a couple of months ago that has become quite famous. And for good reasons, because the alignment is simply spot on. Something that obviously requires lots of knowledge and preparation. Well, these things can be taught....

I recently asked an AI, in this case Microsoft's Copilot AI, to produce a creative blog post to promote my new Full Moon Photography workshops in London. The result was, at times, both hilarious and poetic, so I decided to publish this anyway. Though it may not be all made-up nonsense: in fact, the band Pearl Jam decided to turn into music and lyrics the same Super Blood Wolf Moon I had...

Get your stargazing gear ready because it will be a celestial smorgasbord of full moons in 2024! We're talking 12 luminous orbs gracing the night sky, including four supermoons, a dazzling blue moon, and even a couple of lunar eclipses to spice things up. These are a timeless spectacle that never gets old, no matter how many times you've seen them. But what makes the 2024 lunar parade extra special? Let's dive...

If you have explored this blog, you may have encountered a few posts about photographing a supermoon. Like the Blood Wolf Moon or the Pink one. Even a recording of a Clubhouse talk among passionate moon-chasers. There is a lot I like about photographing a supermoon. From the excitement of waiting for the day to come to the hours spent to find and scout a location, determine a good alignment, wait for...

Tonight we will witness the last Supermoon of the year, so what is it and how to photograph the Supermoon? This was the topic of a conversation on Clubhouse last Monday as part of our Astrophotography Club . I was asked to talk about my experience and give some tips on getting these photos right as, coincidentally, I am running a moon series on my Instagram @fabienb. Plenty of moon shots there,...

I received the Fujifilm XF100-400 F/4.5-5.6 zoom lens from Fuji (not sponsored, I requested it as part of the Fujifilm Photographers programme I'm in). And so I went to test it in the woods, even though I don't normally photograph much wildlife. I had an idea for a photo of the full moon (more on that during the video)… You know that I'm always keen on a good moon photo. I also...

February's full moon is called a Snow Moon, and here you will see the full Snow Moon moonset in London. Right between the City skyscrapers. If you have been following me for some time, you know I'm a sucker for a good moon photo. The moon is, in fact, featured a lot in this blog: Not to mention my one-of-a-kind picture of the Blue Supermoon over London (everybody else got the day...

I decided I'd try a different format for my YouTube vlog and embark on a Photo Mission to shoot the moonrise in London. To be completely honest, the idea came up while I was editing my footage. But all I filmed made perfect sense in such a format, so I decided to put it together this way. I had not really decided to go out to take the resulting shot, mainly because...

Right, the pink supermoon… Or, how things don’t always go to plan.

The Astronomy Calendar 2020 makes a lot of sense in this blog. You might remember from previous posts or Instagram Stories that I'm obsessed with Sun and Moon. In fact, I already talked about my hunt for a Supermoon (and eclipse) here and here. When it comes to sunrise and sunset, there's a bit of luck involved because you can hardly know if the colours in the sky will turn how you...
