Just want to share you all...the beauty of the Supermoon taken during the dawn on September 29 & 30, 2023, from my bedroom window...shone in the darkness endless sky 🌕

It felt like I was flying above the stars when I took these 2 photos 😍, but actually the bright spots below the moon are the hanging lamps above the snapdragon plantation, which were lit every afternoon until dawn by the farmers.
They told me the plants were given LED lighting, to regulate the temperature in plantations so they can produce more productive results.

To get the dark effect and only focus on the moon and the lights on these photos, I combined my camera settings, as explained on the post processing details,
so some other objects such as houses, trees, electricity cables, plantation, etc, were not visible in these photos.

I took the zoomed in moon photo when it was setting down, passed through the power cables which hung along the housing area surrounding the Mount Burangrang 🌕🌝😘
