Clouds and the Golden Moon

Explanation: As the Sun set, a bright Full Moon rose on July 10. Its golden light illuminates clouds drifting through southern hemisphere skies in this well-composed telephoto image from Conceição do Coité, Bahia, Brazil. The brightest lunar phase is captured here with both a short and long exposure. The two exposures were combined to reveal details of the lunar surface in bright moonlight and a subtle iridescence along the dramatically backlit cloudscape. Of course, July’s Full Moon is a winter moon in the southern hemisphere. But in the north it’s known to some as the Thunder Moon, likely a nod to the sounds of this northern summer month’s typically stormy weather.

说明: 7月10日当太阳西落时，一轮明亮的满月冉冉东升。如同这幅构图佳妙、摄于巴西巴伊亚州康塞桑——杜科伊特镇（Conceição do Coité, Bahia）的长镜头影像所示，这轮满月金黄的月光照亮了漂浮在南半球天空中的云朵。而为了同时记录明亮月面的细节、云层里隐约的彩光、及戏剧性的背光云层轮廓，这张影像融合了短曝光与长曝光数据。想当然耳，对南半球来说，7月的满月是冬季的月亮。不过，对北半球而言，它有“雷月”之称，因为夏季7月的天气系统常有隆隆的雷声为伴。
