RE: Full Moon · 9 pics

Most shots don't capture that yellow-orange tone ...

Yes. The atmosphere of our planet is a kind of prism for sunlight falling on the moon. The color of the moon depends on how high it is above the horizon. At the horizon, you can shoot a real blood moon. In May of this year, in our north latitudes (55"), the moon was yellow being approximately in the middle from the horizon to the zenith. 😊

Thank you so much for your feedback!

You're most welcome! Thanks for the details about why and how the color comes and goes as it does.
