Blood Moon

I'm sure lots of these will be uploaded today, and most will be better than this. But this is as good as I could do. I thought I'd be able to do it with a lower ISO and faster shutter speed, but no. Taken at 4.23 am today. First time I've ever watched a lunar eclipse and it was a beautiful clear night in Paris. :-)
Lovely colour, I must still download my pictures but I don't think I got a decent picture plus I didn't find it very red!

@salza I realised it's much harder to capture the eclipsing moon than the full moon because of the lack of light. I enjoyed trying though! Hope you have something nice on your memory card!

Fantastic!

Nice rich colour. Fav!

great shot, we didn't see this in Oz.

I think you did a great job -- capturing the blood red moon AND the sense of the eclipse!
September 28th, 2015  
Super shot and much clearer than mine.
September 28th, 2015  
Wonderfu!

Wonderful capture. Looks like you had clear skies.

Lovely capture, it was a lovely sight, I crawled into bed about 3.40 but my son was still up at 4.30,

I think you did a really good job of capturing the blood eclipse super moon. Yours is better than a lot of others seen today so don't beat yourself up. You can always have another go in 2033 if not satisfied with this one! What a thought!

I think you've done a great job here Issi, I didn't even get up!!!!

Beautiful shot! Simply awesome!

I like the clarity and colour of this.

Looks excellent to me, and all the more so because I didn't get to see it happen here. Had the first cloudy night in like forever. Go figure.

This is a great photo, and I love the stars you've captured too!

@craftymeg Yes, I just got up for the actual eclipse. Set the alarm for 4 and didn't bother going back to bed. It was a lovely sight on such a beautiful clear evening here.

@shepherdmanswife I'll be very happy if I'm still around in 2033 to be able to do that!

@lyndemc Oh what a shame. We were so lucky with a clear evening. September in France has been a great month of sunshine and clear skies. However, winter looms!
September 29th, 2015  
@jamibann Yes, winter is coming. The giant moon peeked through the clouds last night but not long enough for me to even grab my camera. What a tease.

Beautiful capture.
