D50_7758 Lunar eclipse 0006 PDT 600 mm ISO 4000 f6_3 1_25 sec cs6 cr 60% q12
March 14, 2025 - San Diego, California photographed from our backyard. Chilly conditions with strong winds and rapidly passing clouds created challenging conditions. My telephoto lens is a relatively slow f/6.3 at 600 mm and high ISOs of 4000 and 5000 provided the best results. Periodic openings allowed viewing from 11 pm until ten minutes after midnight. Totality at our location was at 11:59 pm. The first image was taken at 12:07 am. The second was taken earlier at 11:48 pm with my cellphone camera.
