Anybody take lunar eclipse film?

[Larry L2]

I was wondering if anybody tried to film the lunar eclipse.

When was the lunar eclipse?

[Greg mgm]

Last night at 7:26 PST. I was ready with my camera and tripod, but there were clouds blocking the view. Bummer!

We have had much needed rain along with thunderstorms for the past 2 days, they didn't even mention it on the news.

It was pretty cool. I saw it at the beginning and the end, when the moon had a reddish cast to it. I just kept thinking about how people thousands of years ago must've reacted...

After a very quick and not very thorough search I found this.

The only reason I knew about it was because my son was doing a project on lunal eclipses. I searched the internet for him to get some info, and discovered that there would be a lunar eclipse (which was last Wednesday)

I let my kids stay up late to see it. at 10:01 pm the eclipse was in full. The moon had a reddish tint to it. It was really cool.

I watched the eclipse, but have always had a difficult time with 'moon' photos. My digital camera can't seem to find the right focus .. and I guess I don't know what manual changes need to be made to make it work

you've got plenty of time to get it figured out.

'till December of '10

Wow .. I love having goals to work toward. I think I can handle that one

I took these still images when we had an eclipse last August here in Brisbane. It was my first attempt at photographing something like this. The photos could be heaps better, but I am happy with my first attempt. I was sharing the tripod with my daughter and her camera, so the photos are not all in the same position.

Nice Job Helen!

[Larry L2]

Very Nice Job!
I found it was tough to get the right exposure combination (combined with the -28 chill temp and -8 temp here).

Great job Helen!

Thanks everyone
I experimented with a few different camera settings on the night, so I have some photos that are too bright and the moon is white. I found it a good learning experience as I don't seem to do so much "experimental" photography these days and I really used to enjoy it.
