When the moon (or the s...@Margaret: Actually, yes. When the moon (or the sun for that matter) is close to the horizon, the light from it has to travel farther, through more of the atmosphere. The farther the light has to travel the more of the shorter (blue/indigo/violet) wavelengths are reflected back, leaving only the longer (red/orange/yellow) wavelengths to penetrate the atmosphere which shifts the color bias to the red end of the spectrum. In conditions of high humidity, heavy pollution, or anything else that blocks light, the effect is even stronger. this shot was taken over the ocean, where the horizon is already as far away as it's possible to see, and it was a very humid night too. When the moon first came up it was even darker and redder than what you see here, too dark to even photograph in fact.Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717405548205026477.post-33672637598755867672010-06-11T04:26:34.617-04:002010-06-11T04:26:34.617-04:00Wow... beautiful!
