We hope you looked up to the sky last night; the full moon was at its closest to the Earth in its orbit and the result was the Supermoon - a celestial occurrence where the moon is especially big and brilliant, and becomes a truly stunning sight. This particular Supermoon, also known as the Flower Moon, marks the sad end of a series of supermoon sightings in 2020. .
Taken by Bruneian photographer Adam Hanif (@admhnif), who captured this stellar view on a Nikon D800e using a NIKKOR 70-200 f/2.8G ED VR II lens set at 200m, f/5.6 aperture, 1/500 shutter, iso 50, by single frame only. “The white spots you see are actually a combination of distant faint stars and ‘hot pixels',” Adam explains. “Hot pixels are caused by electrical discharges that leak onto the sensor when it’s exposed for long periods, and appears quite visible when shooting the night sky. So this effect happened after I increased the exposure and shadows in post.”

We would also like to apologise for the delayed announcement. As the ongoing pandemic has affected every country's priority, we thought it best to put it on hold until everyone has settled in with our new norm of social distancing and other safety measures. Thank you for your patience!
