Moon 2/2 - a photo on Flickriver

Moon 2/2

            Lever de la Pleine Lune (des « Fraises ») au-dessus de la cathédrale de laon (Aisne, France) 🌖

Cette photographie est garantie sans trucage/montage/IA ! Je préfère le mentionner, malheureusement, on en voit de plus en plus.

Vous connaissez sans doute la cité médiévale de Laon, ses remparts et sa cathédrale. Ce lieu est l’un des plus emblématiques de la région Hauts-de-France. Visible de loin, ce « spot photo » était idéal pour créer l'effet de profondeur que je recherchais, donnant l'impression que la lune englobe la cité!

Beaucoup de temps de préparation se trouve derrière cette image. L’enjeu était que la lune se lève pile derrière le monument… La difficulté principale résidait dans l'alignement parfait entre l’appareil photo, la cathédrale et la lune. Il a fallu que je sois très précis dans mon positionnement. Même une petite variation de quelques dizaines de mètres aurait rendu la photo impossible à réaliser. Pour cela, j'ai dû prendre en compte de nombreux facteurs, tels que l'orientation, l'inclinaison, et l’altitude du site…

Ainsi, je me suis positionné à 5km de la cathédrale, et attendu 23h pour voir la lune émerger de la cité. J'ai utilisé un télescope Skywatcher 200/1000 avec mon appareil photo Canon Eos 6d mk2 . La lune était très lumineuse, il a fallu que je fasse du HDR, c’est-à-dire que je fasse 3 photos avec des expositions différentes pour éviter les surexpositions et sous-expositions. 

N’hésitez pas, merci d’avance :)

Full Moon (of the "Strawberries") rising over Laon Cathedral (Aisne, France) 🌖 This photograph is guaranteed to be free of trickery/montage/IA! I prefer to mention it, unfortunately, we're seeing more and more of them.

You're probably familiar with the medieval city of Laon, its ramparts and cathedral. It's one of the most emblematic sites in the Hauts-de-France region. Visible from afar, this 'photo spot' was ideal for creating the effect of depth that I was looking for, giving the impression that the moon encompasses the city!

A lot of preparation went into this image. The challenge was to get the moon to rise just behind the monument... The main difficulty lay in achieving perfect alignment between the camera, the cathedral and the moon. I had to be very precise in my positioning. Even a small variation of a few dozen metres would have made the photo impossible to take. To do this, I had to take into account a number of factors, such as the orientation, inclination and altitude of the site. I positioned myself 5km from the cathedral and waited until 11pm to see the moon emerge from the city. I used a Skywatcher 200/1000 telescope with my Canon Eos 6d mk2 camera . The moon was very bright, so I had to do HDR, i.e. take 3 photos with different exposures to avoid overexposure and underexposure. 

Don't hesitate, thanks in advance :)
