Shooting the Moon – Mozambique

,

During a recent dive trip to Mozambique, I carved out some time in the evenings to indulge in my passion for astrophotography.

Tofo Beach, a gem along the country’s southeastern coast, proved to be an exceptional location for this celestial pursuit.

The area’s minimal light pollution creates an almost pristine environment for stargazing, offering unobstructed views of the vast cosmic tapestry above.

Fortuitously, my visit coincided with the new moon lunar phase, providing an ideal opportunity for deep-sky astrophotography.

As the lunar cycle progressed, I was treated to the awe-inspiring sight of a waxing crescent moon rising over the ocean.

I shot these images with a Panasonic GH5 with a 100-300 lens.
