EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning composite of six separate images, capturing the mesmerizing transition of the moon over the U. S. Capitol in Washington on October 27,2004. The composition features five distinct shots of the moon, each revealing its gradual shift from full to a state of full lunar eclipse. As darkness gradually envelops the celestial body, it creates an ethereal spectacle against the evening sky. The image also incorporates one photograph showcasing the iconic U. S. Capitol building taken with a 200mm lens facing eastward. This juxtaposition adds depth and context to this extraordinary visual narrative. Photographer Gary Hershorn skillfully captured these breathtaking moments by employing different lenses for each shot – a 400mm lens was used for capturing detailed close-ups of the moon as it passed over the U. S. Capitol from north to south. This remarkable composite serves as a testament to both astronomical wonder and architectural grandeur, encapsulating two powerful symbols within one frame. With no rights clearances or permissions required for this non-commercial use image courtesy of Reuters Images, viewers can immerse themselves in this awe-inspiring scene without any limitations or restrictions.
