Eclipse - A Magical World
Howdy All,
I too, took some pot shots at the moon during the eclipse. The first couple were when the moon was just rising and the eclipse is barely visible on the lower left of the moon. Mostly it was just pretty clouds that caught my eye.
Next is a wider angle shot showing a bit of the eclipse over the tops of Mountains and a bright "moon path" across the water.
Finally, here is my attempt at shooting the eclipse itself. I was having camera trouble because I've never taken the time to learn how to use it but out of 170+ photos this is the best eclipse view I got.
I think it's really interesting the different angle seen by Olivia as compared to mine. The pales part of the moon is upper right on mine; it is straight right on hers. Our latitude is about 48degrees. What is your latitude, Olivia?

Wow, wow, wow -- that wider shot over the water is gorgeous. Great shots, P4!
Morning Puget.
I agree with Andi - Wow! Those shots are great.
Wowie zowie!
I love the reflections on the water! And the clouds are in the perfect spot -- adds atmosphere ... ;)
Did you use a tripod?
Hi P4, Andi, FM.
Hi Andi. Thanks for coming by and thanks for the kind words. The eclipse started here just after 5:45. The wide angle was taken at 6:00 so there was still twilight available.
Morning FM. If I had been a proper slackerly photographer, I could have shot these from our livingroom window, but some demon got in me and made me go out into the 30 degree F temps to avoid cars etc in the foreground. Sorry about those temps, Olivia, but I still froze. :-)
Morning Olivia! Yes, the reflections were spectacular for various moments in the evening. Love that atmosphere :-). I was using a tripod for the dark photo. The other two were taken by resting the camera on a handy leaning rail and proping it at a good angle with the lens cover or my hand. Finally I had Gooserock bring out the tripod.
Puget4,
Simply marvelous shots.
Wow, I love the moon reflection shots.
Very very cool.
I do promise to come back more frequently.
Hi KH. Thanks for coming by. I really appreciate your thoughts on the photos. It was a spectacular sight for sure and it just lasted and lasted. Cool world we live in.
