EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking composite photo captures the mesmerizing lunar eclipse as it graced the evening sky over Washington, D. C. on October 27,2004. Meticulously crafted from six separate photos, this image showcases five different stages of the moon's transition from full to a state of complete lunar eclipse. The sixth photo beautifully incorporates the iconic U. S. Capitol building into this celestial spectacle. Photographer Gary Hershorn skillfully employed a 400mm lens to capture the moon's journey across the night sky while passing over the U. S. Capitol in an awe-inspiring north-to-south trajectory. Simultaneously, using a 200mm lens facing eastward, he captured an exquisite shot of one of America's most recognizable landmarks against this ethereal backdrop. The result is a truly captivating visual masterpiece that encapsulates both natural and man-made wonders within a single frame. This composite photo serves as a testament to Hershorn's artistic vision and technical prowess in capturing such rare astronomical events with utmost precision. With its impeccable quality and attention to detail, this image stands as an enduring reminder of nature's grandeur juxtaposed against human achievements—a timeless portrayal of cosmic harmony above one of America's most significant cities.
