Well, THIS Is Stunning.

Here's a bit of background:

Full Moon Silhouettes is a real time video of the moon rising over the Mount Victoria Lookout in Wellington, New Zealand. People had gathered up there this night to get the best view possible of the moon rising. I captured the video from 2.1km away on the other side of the city. It's something that I've been wanting to photograph for a long time now, and a lot of planning and failed attempts had taken place. Finally, during moon rise on the 28th January 2013, everything fell into place and I got my footage.

The super telephoto lense is what really makes this pop. But here's another tid-bit to consider:

The video is as it came off the memory card and there has been no manipulation whatsoever. 

Awesome.
