Super Moon Lunar Eclipse Blood Moon

What an absolute show the sky put on last night! Warm, clear, Broncos played and WON!!! I was set up at 6:30 PM but went back to the house to get something came out and the moon was already on her way up. I, like all the other photographers, recording the scene we will not again see until 2033, was adjusting focus, shutter speed and f/stops until about 9:45. At the point the moon was in complete blood phase, the dogs were howling, people were yelling and screaming for the Broncos, and then something came to stand by me. Something relatively large, breathing, walking. I froze, sweat popping out on my brow as I continued to shoot the moon. I am hoping it was a deer...

Anyway, this is a shot where the blood moon phase was just starting to wane. I was on a board platform...live and learn! I was using a remote trigger and mirrored up but there was still shake from even my breathing, which became rapid at the realization that I had company at one point, so unfortunately I got some camera shake.
