Jordan Wadi Rum Moon Rise: A Celestial Spectacle

Wadi Rum Moon Rise

There's something truly magical about watching the moon ascend, especially when framed against a landscape as unique and captivating as Jordan's Wadi Rum. This incredible shot captures that moment of celestial wonder, with the desert's dramatic rock formations providing a stunning silhouette for our lunar companion.

This photograph was expertly captured using the following equipment and settings:

  • Camera: Sony A7C
  • Lens: Sigma 16-28mm DN at 16mm
  • Aperture: f/2.8
  • Shutter Speed: 20 seconds
  • ISO: 800

The combination of a wide-angle lens, a relatively fast aperture, and a longer exposure allowed for the capture of the moon's brilliance and the subtle details of the desert landscape under the night sky. This is a testament to the dedication and skill involved in modern astrophotography, bringing us closer to the wonders of our universe and the beauty of our own planet.
