Re: Lunar eclipse

Really nice, that looks like it would be a great poster.
I was going to try and get shots, but it was to cloudy.

Re: Lunar eclipse

Cool shot(s) DD. I snapped a few quick ones while I was headed out to work that night, but I haven't had a chance to look at them.

If you don't mind, cold you send me a hi-res copy of your posted pic?

Thanks,
STinGa

Re: Lunar eclipse

That's incredible. I only have a point-and-shoot camera, so it won't so much as focus on the moon.

Re: Lunar eclipse

Very cool indeed. And very creative!

It would be neat to see it as a linear progression (as one long strip) across a whole wall.

Thanks for sharing.

I don't know why, but they remind me of basketballs

Talking Re: Lunar eclipse

DirtDevil, great photos . I tried to get some as well, but forgot that when it is -5C or so, your batteries lose power quickly even though I have two of them in a battery grip, so I missed the last half hour or so before totality, but it was a learning process and I do have at least a few during the onset of the eclipse that I like, and there will be another one in a couple of years so I have time to develop a better process.

Cheers,

WesternGuy

Re: Lunar eclipse

Great job at capturing and putting together these images. btw, unless you know the person very well, I would not send anyone a hgh res pic. It could only be used to make prints and possibly sell.
Just my caution

Re: Lunar eclipse

These are GREAT! I can't decide which I like better, the pictures or the presentation of them, Jeff
