Eclipse

As I was driving home last night listening to the radio they reminded me that the lunar eclipse was happening. When I got home I quickly set up my camera and got ready to shoot.

 

As I didn't finish work until 10pm I missed the first half of the eclipse, so I only managed to capture the moon as it came back into view. I started by standing on my front porch, but when I realised it wouldn't be finished until after midnight I moved up into the front spare room and sat watching it until it was over.

This was shot using my Canon 70-200mm lens with a 2X extender to give me a little bit of extra focal length.

I've always wanted to do one of these composite shots so after watching a quick tutorial on Youtube I produced this. Five stages of the eclipse, from the main partial eclipse to the end.
