On the morning of September 28th at about 4:30am, I found myself gathered with friends in the bushveld of South Africa. Our mission? To capture the seldom seen Blood Moon as it began to set over the brush-covered countryside near Kruger National Park.
It was a perfect morning with clear skies, wide open spaces, and just enough dead—though still standing—black ironwood to add an element of interest. I wanted an image that showed more than just a setting lunar eclipse.
As the moon slowly sank toward the horizon, we could hear hyenas whaling their mournful calls. Falling stars streaked the heavens and a lion roared from a far off donga to the east. We shot for about an hour, and as the dark sky gave way to the rising sun, we packed our gear and headed for camp.
