Pontal do Parana, Brazil

In 2019, Southern Brazil experienced two main astronomical events: a partial solar eclipse at sunset and a partial lunar eclipse at moonrise. In the first one, shooting was impossible, and even driving as far as 300km from home once was completely overcast.  On the other hand, the forecast was great, and I planned to shoot the eclipsed full moon rising over the Atlantic Ocean.

After researching Google Maps, I chose this island (Curtis Island, located 11 km from the beach) on the Paraná State coast to pair with the rising moon. At the location, I found the right place and waited until the right time. The light and the view were amazing. Once the ocean was too crispy, I decided to include a breaking wave in the foreground.
