Details:
I was trying to photograph an upward lightning bolt when I began to notice a shadow above the storm cell. I've seen these shadows before but it was always during the day.
Here is a link to the video I made using a series of photos before and after this event: https://youtu.be/HkYe9DOUi0M
Les Cowley has already viewed the video and photo and here is what he said:
"That's a rare video. These effects are fairly common with clouds illuminated by the sun but pictures with the moon are not so.
The dark area is the shadow of the big cumulus cloud cast downwards by the moon onto a thin lower cloud layer. These lower layers are thin enough that they are not otherwise apparent. See this page about them with a diagram..
