Beijing, 2008: Moon lighting #50Days50Moments "I was rushing from one event to the other, heading to the 'Bird's Nest' for the men's 100m final. As my colleague and I turned a corner, we saw a stunning #fullmoon rising above the stadium and we could not believe our luck! Because we were running late, I had to decide if it would be worth stopping to shoot this picture, possibly risking my spot for the 100m among all the other photographers lined up inside the stadium. I decided I could shoot this image quickly. Luckily, I had a long lens with me, as it would have been difficult to capture without it. I waited a few minutes for the moon to move in line with the torch and this was the result." - ryanpierse (via BBC Sport) | August 18, 2008 | #Gettysport #Rio2016 #Olympics #🌝 #🔥 #🏅 ⬇️ Click the link in our bio to see more stunning Olympic moments...
