Super Moon Eclipse by harbie

Super Moon Eclipse

So...this is not the clearest moon shot, but I am very excited because I have been having difficulty with moon shots, and this is the best I have been able to get so far. I decided to post it because I feel it is a step (although small) to where I want to be. Thank you!
A few of you were wondering what happened to my foot. A while back, my daughter was running in the kitchen and fell full force onto the top of my foot with her knee (is that a goofy way to get hurt or what??). The whole foot healed except the bottom toe joint continued to be painful They said it would just get worse so I decided to have a hemi joint replacement. I should be able to go back to running, hiking, etc as soon as it heels. So far so good! :)!
You got to see it! We have a heavy cloud cover tonight didn't even get a glimpse! I'm glad you posted it. I have a question, are you using auto focus or manual?

Very cool shot

@amandalockie I was using manual but having a hard time telling if it was focusing. Any suggestions?? They are always appreciated! :)!

@amandalockie my daughter in SC. Also couldn"t see it due to the clouds!

I do actually have a suggestion, I read something a while back about "infinity focus" that is used in landscape shots, it's almost like a sweet spot on the manual focus ring at the far end of the focal range. I have one lens that's marked with the infinity symbol to make it easy to find. Here's a link for you to learn more about it. http://www.school-of-digital-photography.com/2013/11/infinity-focusing-what-is-it-how-does-it-work-how-to-manually-set-a-lens-without-a-distance-scale-to-focus-on-infinity.html?m=1
I hope that helps!

Great lunar shot. I was up in the middle of the night to see it but our view wasn't red like this
