At about 10:40, the earth's shadow was beginning to creep over the moon, so I grabbed the camera and took a photo … which turned out less than stellar.
I decided not to worry about taking photos, but, when I stepped back outside an hour later and the eclipse was almost total, I really wanted a photo of the red moon. I grabbed the camera again … and realized I'm terrible at holding it still. (No, this is not one of those nice time lapse photos showing up everywhere, this is one snap of a very unstable camera!)
Finally, Robbie grabbed the tri-pod, and I was able to get a much better shot!
Did you watch and/or photograph the lunar eclipse?

Oh that's a lovely third photo - no, it was 5am here and both Wookie & I decided that was just too early. Enjoyed seeing everyone's photos tho'.
ReplyDeleteYep, a tripod is almost always a must for a moon shot. Robbie's is fantastic! I thought it was too cloudy to see here, so I went to bed, but Tracy and Adam both saw it.
ReplyDeleteMelissa glad you joined in for Take Three Thursday. Your photos of the Blood Moon eclipse are stunning - yeah to Robbie's rescue with the tripod.
ReplyDeleteThat last shot is lovely ... well done to Robbie for grabbing the tripod!
