    Re: Lunar Eclipse Saturday!

    Thanks Alison. I used a variety of settings and two lenses (lensi?). And again - these were shot RAW and are completely untouched except for cropping.

    All were either 200 or 300mm, early shots were f5.6 1/125. As it progressed, I had to continually close down and/or bump up the shutter. Last ones were f11 1/640. I'm not great at knowing how to bracket exposures yet, so I just did it manually throughout and kept checking the exposure in the viewfinder. Thanks to an earlier viewfinder post by Almo just a few weeks ago, I knew that when it was a full moon it was going to be around f8 and 1/250 - which I would never have guessed. So a HUGE THANKS to Almo!! Thanks Almo!

    Alison - we can put our shots together and have the full eclipse

    Nah, believe me my shots are REALLY poor lol.
    The best lenses I have at the moment are for portraits (my little diamond 50mm) and my group shot/landscape lens (17-40mm f/4 L).

    Now you are just teasing me MJ!!!
    Awesome shot of the moon! What lens and settings did you use for that!!! Incredible!!!
