Lunar Eclipse
|
Category: Photography
If I were paying attention, I would’ve taken the camera out earlier! I just caught the tail end of the lunar eclipse, and I ought to have waited longer for the eclipse to fade out except my fingers were freezing, I had no tripod, and I was holding David’s heavy 80-200mm (fully manual) SLR lens. The longest autofocus lens I have is the 28-135mm and I had to focus manually with it, anyway, so this is as close as I got. The next lunar eclipse is 2010, and at the rate I’m buying lenses (i.e., very slowly), I should own a 300mm right about then!

That’s a great shot - better looking than what I saw in person. Here is was a much muddier red, and then I caught the tail end of it when just the top quarter was eclipsed. Glad I saw it since it’s the last one for the decade.

That’s a nice shot. We recently got a telescope, but unfortunately we don’t have the camera adapter yet. Hopefully by the next total eclipse, we will!

Gail:
What an awsome pic - you certainly have a great talent. Sent you an email yesterday at the last email address I had from you but it did not go through! It was a slide show on old aviator planes that I thought you might be interest in. Has your email changed since I last had contact with you!

Wow, thats nice, just like what I could see. I tried getting some pictures with our Powershot, but its just a blob of white in a black sky

Great shot! It’s so weird, out here in East York, the moon was WHITE. No orange/red colours. I feel robbed!!!

I’m charging the batteries for both the cameras so I can unload the shots I got, but we didn’t have that orange…just red, and very irritating passing bits of cloud
