Lunar Eclipse

Lunar Eclipse  

So one of the things I said I would do this year was comment more on my photos instead of just leaving them in abstract.  Thus far I haven't done that, until now…

So last night was my second attempt at photographing the moon.  The first time was a very bright full moon that wound up as just a big white blob on a background.  I guess I should have saved it and called in "Moon in Abstract".  That probably would be worth millions now.

Anyhow, I took about a dozen shots in between the rather heavy but intermittent cloud cover we had.  Fortunately the winds were pushing them along so I has a few opportunities.  This shot is really the only one that turned out with any detail at all.  Ironically, it's one of the earlier shots and was done hand-held before I put the camera on a tripod.  Shooting pictures of the moon is something I'd like to do more, but I definitely need to learn more about how to do it.  All in all, not too bad for someone who at best is an amateur photographer.  :)
