A breath-taking shot of tonight's Full Red Moon rising over Sydney during total lunar eclipse by Ethan Callaghan. 🌕✨
This is a real photograph captured using a technique called telephoto compression (or lens compression).
Here’s how it works:
A telephoto lens (long focal length, e.g. 300mm–600mm) is used.
The photographer positions themselves far away from the subject (the Opera House, in this case).
Because of the long focal length, the Moon (which is actually quite small to the naked eye) appears much larger relative to the building in the frame.
