I woke up at 1:50 am, stumbled out of bed and checked the moon, which was bloody red. I grabbed my camera, ran outside into the sub-freezing, 20º F temperature, and took a few shots at the moon. The reflections off the filter on my lens, together with my state of being at 1:55 am produced some pretty funky photos of the full lunar eclipse in the wee hours of the morning. Earlier in the evening I had gone out and photographed the moonrise and got a decently clear closeup of the full moon.




I slept through it. Oh well…I guess we get another chance October 8. 🙂
I just happened to wake up. Laurie was sleeping soundly, so I didn’t wake her.
The last full lunar eclipse we had I set an alarm, got up, went outside and the sky was overcast. So at least this time I got to see it, even though my photos came out funky.
I read somewhere that you were having a ‘bloody moon’. I’ve never seen one, so it was great to see your photos.
Thanks, Julia. I didn’t get very clear photos of the eclipse, but I think you got the idea of what it looked like.
We had it at a decent hour 6.30pm but it was cloudy so no show. Thanks for your shots.
I’ve been there on the clouds covering the eclipse:( Thanks!
i love it, beautiful pictures Timothy
Thanks, Leyla!
Beautiful photos! The last two are breathtaking. 🙂
Thanks!
Nice photos! It was overcast here, so we missed it.
Thanks! Too bad. It was fun to see.
We stayed up to watch it and really enjoyed it–we didn’t even have to go outside as we got great view from the dining room window–so we watched the whole process. Thought it was well worth the time as we hadn’t seen the blood moon before.
The neighbor’s pesky elm trees blocked the view from our bay windows.
Love shots like these, got any time lapsed ones?
Thanks! No time lapses on this one. I just got up, took a few shots, looked at it for a few minutes and went back to bed.
Half asleep and still this good. Nice work.
Thanks. Being half asleep is similar to doing drive-by photos — there’s a lot of chance involved, but the results often come out good.
Like the second shot, although the first one is kinda cool with the motion… Wish I could have seen the ‘bloody moon’ but we didn’t get any of the eclipse out here (and it was cloudy too). Cheers.
Thanks!
Love these!!
Thanks!
Great shots you captured there.
Thanks!
Beautiful pictures, thanks for the effort and for sharing with us.
Thanks!
