Total Eclipse of the Moon

Posted by Damon Schreiber (Toronto, Canada) on 21 February 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

Yesterday (well actually about an hour and a half ago). Pretty cool stuff. During the eclipse, the moon turns coppery red as light is refracted through the earth's atmosphere.

Very nicely shot; I got to see only a partial. Clouds rolled in and covered the sky before it was over. Bummer!

I was wondering if anyone on AM3 would get a shot of this.....well done!

There was full cloud cover in the UK so I didn't even see it let alone get a chance to take a photo!

Excellent shot! We also had a super clear night here in Saskatchewan, Canada, but I just didn't have enough zoom to get a capture that come close to this. Kudos!

Excellent, Damon!! I was out there too! I hope mine turned out half as good as yours... I didn't have a chance to download them and have a good study of them... hopefully, I'll have one for tomorrow..

Fantastic! Great shot of a unique moment.
I could only shoot a full moon due to the bad weather (see my blog)

Stu from Kyoto, Japan

Wonderful. Superb capture.

Looks like you're fully kitted out with lenses now, Damon. A low-light and a 450mm beast! Very nice.

27 Feb 2008 2:53pm

@Stu: Thanks, Stu! I just wanted to point out that the Am3 exif data actually shows the 35mm equivalent value for focal length rather than the actual length - at least for my camera. By which I'm trying to say that it's a 300mm lens, not a 450!
