One of the world’s best photo compositions of the historical Lunar Eclipse last week (the longest this century) was taken right here in South Africa – from Bergbron in Johannesburg. Shared by tens of thousands, the composition is made up of 20 photos and took photographer Martin de Kock (@Netjies) over seven hours to complete.

“I timed the moon in 10 minute intervals over 4 hours and chose what best represented the eclipse,” he told SAPeople. “Then the editing took me another 3 hours and I only got to bed at 4:30 after sharing it immediately.”

The photos, which were taken just off Gordon Road in Gauteng – and set against the beautiful and instantly recognisable Joburg skyline – captured South Africans’ hearts.

Martin said: “I am very honoured that people like the image so much. I wanted to just give up and go sleep a few times in the edit. Haha. But I know hard work pays off, and this time it definitely did!”

Thanks to very popular demand, Martin has produced 50 A0 size prints of the iconic image. Each one is numbered and signed on top quality acid free  fine art archival paper, and comes complete with a certificate of authenticity.

This South African piece of 21st Century lunar history is available for R5,000 each. If you’re overseas, the international postage ranges from R1,700 to R2,500. If you’re in SA, you can have it framed/boxed at extra charge.

If you’d like to order one – titled ‘Lunar Eclipse Composite over Johannesburg’ – please contact Martin at pappomdk@gmail.com to place your orders.
