Yesterday evening I ventured out to photograph the super eclipse (a total lunar eclipse coinciding with a super moon). Arriving at my chosen location, a beach with a clear view of Mount Baker and the moonrise, I found a large crowd already assembled there. It was quite the community event! I found a driftwood log to sit on, set up my camera and tripod, and waited.
Haze and a sky still bright from the setting sun made the rising moon difficult to see.
The “blood moon” effect intensified as the sky darkened and the eclipse became total.
The next super moon eclipse happens in 2033.
So wonderful pics, congrats!!
Thanks! I wish I had thought to do a series, like you did.
Oh thank you but you did, your pictures are so original and not such all the same like mine. 🙂
So gorgeous! Love the soft colors and the perspective! 🙂
Thank you very much!
I love EVERYTHING about that top photo. Please tell me that you have some of these enlarged and hanging in your house! If not, can I do it in mine???? : )
Heheh, thanks Paige!
Nice job! Gots to get me a tripod! I struck out (to be expected without tripod) and quickly gave up and just enjoyed the view. I’ll be ready by 2033!!
Thank you. Yes, a tripod opens up all kinds of photographic possibilities! Couldn’t get along without one now.
wonderful! It seems like that images is not of this world. 🙂
Thank you! We got lucky with beautiful light that evening.
stunning image, really! 🙂
Awesome. Very special composition and color. And a special moment as well.
Thanks very much!
So different from the other photos I have seen, I really like these.
Thanks! I don’t have a super-telephoto lens, so my only option was to work the moon into a landscape context.
Good use of the equipment you have, I thought it was great to see a version that was different after having seen so many telephoto versions.
One of the most original photo’s of the blood moon. Most I’ve seen are of only the moon covering the whole picture, but this is so much more special. Especially the first one is breathtakingly beautiful!
Thank you! I’m so glad we had clear skies for the event!
Oh well… then I’d just have to wait till then to get stunning photos like yours!! 😉
Thanks! Lots of full moons to practice on in the meantime. 🙂
Wow!
