Eclipse by maggiemae

Eclipse

My first moon pictures with my new camera and it was an eclipse! And a Blood Moon! So glad I had an inkling of how to do it before I tried. Stayed up till it was almost across. I do feel personally, that moon shots are boring but had to document one good one.

Three good things;
1. My other picture will wait
2. A piece of chocolate cake gluten free ( not that I am!)
3. Wine tasting in the local supermarket
You can never taste too much wine ;) Really like this shot as well

Lucky you .. on wine tasting and cake.. but also on getting a cloudless moon... we had cloud both high and low and wind... so no moon shots from me..

Lovely shot
October 8th, 2014  
pretty! good for you. it was cloudy as hell here last night, plus it would've been at 3 a.m. and i don't think i'd get up at that ungodly hour in the cold for a moon shot. i will wait until august next year.

Wonderful capture of the moon.

Awesome shot! I was so looking forward to getting a shot of. Now I'll have to wait until April.
October 9th, 2014  
Wow! I got up early and saw it but didn't get a shot because it was almost behind the tree line.This is terrific!
October 9th, 2014  
I love the way you captured the eclipse! Fav!
October 9th, 2014  
Great job catching the eclipse! Wonderful detail. Too many clouds here unfortunately.
October 9th, 2014  
Good job. I missed it because I thought it was tonight instead of the wee hours this AM. :(
October 9th, 2014  
Lovely lunar shot - great capture of the eclipse. Fav

@graemestevens Moonlight and wine - the start of somebody's future! Might have been mine!
October 9th, 2014  
@grammyn Did you think of getting up that tree, Katy?
October 9th, 2014  
@tonydebont I'm starting to realise its capabilities, Tony and feel that I'm not a piker when it comes to 365!
October 9th, 2014  
@olivetreeann Put it on your calendar Ann! You just might forget! I didn't realise this was on till the day before as broadcast on TV!
October 9th, 2014  
@summerfield This blood moon (notice it is not an adjective!) is next available in 2018! I would put an alarm on if I were you!
October 9th, 2014  
@julzmaioro You make it sound so wonderful - wine and cake - but it wasn't together! There were some brilliant shots around though, better than mine!
October 9th, 2014  
@jackie8 I actually sent this one to the News but it wasn't as good as the others! - the outline has to be SO clear!
October 9th, 2014  
@happypat It might have been the only night I stayed up till 11.30pm, Pat! I do think its good if you want to find out the capabilities of the camera!
October 9th, 2014  
Magnificent capture! What a great night for photographing. Fav
October 9th, 2014  
Beautifully taken
October 9th, 2014  
I agree with you, moon shot is boring, but this one is very special!
October 9th, 2014  
Nice one. I didn't get a shot of the eclipse, in fact I missed it all together
October 9th, 2014  
Beautiful photo.
October 9th, 2014  
@maggiemae LOL! I did not! It was a whole forest of them Maggiemae!
October 9th, 2014  
Nice moon shot!
October 9th, 2014  
Without 365 I wouldn't know there had been an eclipse! Excellent good things.
October 9th, 2014  
Wow wow wow! There is nothing boring about this moon shot, Marg. Fav. I thought about doing it but a p&s is no tool for a task like this - roll on 2018 for that is when the next blood moon comes along.
October 9th, 2014  
Great moon eclipse shot! I thought it wasn't visible in southern hemisphere? Maybe just not southern Africa for whatever reason ;)
October 9th, 2014  
Great capture. Enjoy the new camera
October 9th, 2014  
wow. we just had clouds. This came out pretty neat!

Beautiful capture of this special moon. You have said what I generally tend to think but haven`t dared to articulate about moon shots. Thank-you!
October 11th, 2014  
Fabulous capture, Maggiemae. You captured some amazing detail and colors too. I was thinking about you when I took my moon shot the next bight with my 24x zoom. FAV
October 11th, 2014  
Very nicely done!
