Last Total Lunar Eclipse for 3 YEARS!

[RICHARD]

Dude.... The local rock station is playing Dark Side of the Moon right now.


The clouds just rolled in and it looks spooky now.

Great shots you two!

Here's the last picture I took.

WoooooooW!



NICE SHOW, God!

And HEY ~~~

Looks like the Lil Green Men on the Moon scraped up enough coin to pay off their electric bill ~

The Moon Lights are coming back ON!

I didn't get much time to take pictures as it got cloudy quickly here. Here are three shots I managed to get - two of them being "oops, wrong setting dummy!" I think they came out pretty cool looking anyhow.

Jess -- WOW!!! I must say I tried to get some pics tonight but I still just don't know how to use my camera properly... plus my zoom is nothing... I just have the stock lens that comes with it. I really need to invest in a nicer lens with a bigger zoom.

We did have a telescope out there though but it was difficult to keep up with the rotation of the earth and once we lost the moon in it we had a hard time to keep finding it again, lol.

May I ask what techniques/materials you used to get your pics?? They really are fantastic!

[BC_MoM]

I used a tripod (only used the remote shutter button when the moon was red), but had to angle it and hold it myself because I couldn't get it to lock.

For the half moon shot I used:
f11
1/200
Metering spot
300mm focal length

And for the red moon shot I used:
f5.6
1/2
Metering spot
300mm focal length

It won't let me know what ISO I used, but I think for the first it was 800 and the second it was 1000.

Kay, those are neat shots!!!

I didn't use the camera meter, I shot all mine on manual with a tripod, mirror lock up, and self timer.

#1 - ISO 200 F/11 1/8 sec

#2 - ISO 800 F/5.6 .8 sec

#3 - ISO 1600 F/5.6 1/3 sec

I was shooting with a 300mm lens with a doubler on it (equivilent of a 600mm lens).
