This is a photograph of a lunar eclipse (blood moon) as seen from Colorado Springs, Colorado on the morning of 4 April 2015. The moon is over Pike's Peak in this photograph and it disappeared behind Pike's Peak shortly after sunrise.
One of the dogs woke me around 3am so I got up to take pictures of the Lunar eclipse, and was just looking at them now. I had hoped I would have gotten at least one good shot, but no such luck. I think I may need to go out and buy a stronger tripod. I had my D300 with 70-200 f/2.8 AF-S VR lens mounted to a Nikon 2x TC and I think it was too much weight – every shot had motion blur. I even used the mirror up mode and 0.4 second delayed shutter release. Maybe I was not thinking straight, but these are the worst pictures I have taken in like forever.
