Definitely need something to keep you warm...

decided that a bottle was too cumbersome, so like all 20 year old Scotsmen i have a hip flask :P

Got some serious redness here.
It's brilliant.

I had a pretty good view 'til the clouds came back in. Still, a neat thing to watch even if my fingers be frozen!

here you go, I took these, not great... I got a pretty good view from my place in the UK.

Hey, mine looks just like yours! :)



A bit noisy, had to go to ISO1600 f/2.8 and 1/3s.

Ha ha, Henk Jan is very near where I live. :)

Yeah, the usual "Sunny 16 rule" doesn't apply when the full moon is in shadow.

Haven't had a chance to get out yet, but earlier got some quick snapshots of moonrise from my window:

Okay, one combined.



Still cloudy.

A bit late but an edit of a 22:00 shot

Nice image, Sara ...

The moon is moving quite fast, so a couple of seconds exposure could cause motion blur or slight motion softness.

Thank you! That one was shot at 1/100th of a second; the later ones are at a slower speed, and it shows as there is far less definition. If I was doing it again I would bump up the film speed to 800 for the shots where the moon is in full shadow.

Yea, I had practised a few shots on the full moon earlier on. Lovely and sharp at 1/125 and f8 (ISO100) - Of course, when the moon was in full shadow it was a different matter. Shutter speed down to 3 seconds, ISO800...
03/03/2007 07:40:43 PM · #71
What I don't understand ... I have never noticed it in series of lunar eclipse posts before ... is how the shadow came in from the bottom and is exiting out on the right as I shoot now ...

That seems weird to me ...

Yea, I noticed that as well. I reckon the relative positions of the earth and the moon meant the shadow didn't move in a straight line across the moon, but kind of curved up and to the right.

It's getting late and we soon have a full moon again.


Birds make a lot of noise (don't think they normally do at this time of day 01.55 local time)

I ended up coming in about 10 minutes before totality was finished. Ended up getting freaked out being alone in the dark for a couple of hours, and it didn't help that there was a cat somewhere doing its best to freak me out. :P
