22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Lunar Eclipse
This was the clearest shot I captured of the lunar eclipse that occurred in May 2022. Despite the challenges of photographing such a rare event, I was able to recover a surprising amount of detail. The ominous red hue that enveloped the moon was particularly striking, along with a small glint of sunlight reflecting off its top-right edge.
