The full moon rises at sunset during the lunar eclipse Friday evening. In a penumbral lunar eclipse the moon hasn't slipped entirely into the earth's shadow. If you were standing on the moon there'd still be a bit of the sun showing. So we don't see the complete shadow of the earth eclipsing the sun's light in this photo, but in this late stage of the eclipse, the sun's light shining on the moon was dimmed as the moon was rising.
This is an image from a time-lapse sequence I shot. It is a single exposure, not a composite. Minor adjustments were made in Adobe Lightroom (white balance, contrast, level the horizon). No Photoshop was used.

Moon in Penumbral Lunar Eclipse Rising Over Mono Lake
The full moon rises at sunset during the lunar eclipse Friday evening. In a penumbral lunar eclipse the moon hasn’t slipped entirely into the earth’s shadow. If you were standing on the moon there’d still be a bit of the sun showing. So we don’t see the complete shadow of the earth eclipsing the sun’s light in this photo, but in this late stage of the eclipse, the sun’s light shining on the moon was dimmed as the moon was rising.
