out moon chasing tonight like hundreds of others. Bit too late to catch the redness and just got the last bit of the shadow. Didnt have the skill to capture the craters or probably the right equipment but love this spooky blue moon that appeared. Can someone explain how this effect happens?
@teiko it looks a bit like that doesnt it. I can assure you my feet were firmly on planet earth. We got in the car and rushed to a higher place (we live in a valley) and I was disappointed that the eclipse was nearly over. What I captured however was quite amazing but I think my camera did all the work
@joemuli thankyou. would love to know how I created the extra blue moon. It would have been great if I had captured the moon when it was red and then the blue one next to it but I rather like how only a bit is red
I'm curious to know, but sorry I can't help! Still a great capture of the luna eclipse Chris! You had a better view than me, sadly we had a sky full of clouds!
I responded on Sierra's thread, but essentially this is lens flare. The moon's highly overexposed, and you got flare similar to pointing the camera into the sun. The color tone of the moon was red at the time, so your flare was the inverse - a bluish green.
For this phase of the moon, using the ISO 400 you had set, the proper exposure would be f/8 @ 1/125. To keep the noise to a minimum, though, I'd have used ISO 100, f/5.6, 1/60.
try this link. weather may be better in October
