Eclipse de lune. Sigma 150/600 + Canon EOS 760d sur StarAdventurer. Temps pourri :-(
Assemblage de trois images.
Eclipse of the moon. Bad weather...
During the partial Eclipse a few weeks back, it did get darker, and the light became muted with a gold/orange glow. I also noted that the birds did quieten except for the crows. They were flying around or like this one perching, cawing or observing.
I want to thank all those who take the time to comment and fav my images. I would like to respond to each individually but at the moment I cannot but nonetheless, I am deeply appreciative
Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) This is a mallard drake in eclipse plumage. In spring ducks require their colourful plumage to attract a mate during the breeding season. After the breeding season the male begins to moult, replacing the old worn out feathers with new ones. Ducks are peculiar in that they will moult all their flight feathers at once, and so for a month are unable to fly and are very vulnerable to predators. Now here comes the clever bit. The males will start their moult with all their bright body feathers. These are replaced by duller brown ones, much like the females. This eclipse plumage will then be worn for a few weeks or months depending on the species of duck, before another second moult occurs when the male will once again grow back his full colours. This moult is less ‘severe’ than the first and the males are still able to fly.
During the summer months it often seems like the males have all disappeared. In fact they are just camouflaging themselves and upon closer examination you will see them amongst the females where they have always been. Interestingly, the females will only need to moult once and will do this after all her young have successfully fledged and are fending for themselves. With Mallard, the difference between the male and female when the male is in eclipse plumage is that he has a uniform yellow bill (compared to her orange bill with black markings) and a breast tinged rufous and less well marked.
One of the car parks to use if you want to head up The Trundle in West Sussex to watch a lunar eclipse. Unfortunately, a cloud bank to the east meant no eclipse whatsoever from this vantage point. However, it was a lovely walk for both us and the hound, with great views in all directions, so the trip was not entirely wasted. A bit later the car park was somewhat fuller than it was at the time I snapped this pic.
Through a break in the clouds. The cloud bank moved away to reveal the second part of the eclipse in clear skies.

This is an image of the lunar eclipse .. put together with a photo of a flock of Western jackdaw .. I think it is safe to say that the end result is visually dark ..
Lunar Eclipse 07.09.2025
Back in March I photographed the Lunar Eclipse from my bedroom window. Yesterday there was another one, and I decided to do something different. We took a long hike along the northern coast of Peniche, reaching the Baleal Island (a former island turned peninsula) just at the time the sun was setting. Facing north and surrounded by the ocean, we watched the sunset on our left and some minutes later we saw the eclipsed moon rise on our right. We resumed our walk with the moon in front of us and watched it fully emerge from the Earth’s shadow. It was a spectacular sight and a very special moment.
I had decided I was not going to carry the tripod and telelens with me because I wanted to enjoy the hike and the moment without carrying a lot of weight and without getting distracted setting up things. I still took the camera though, and before we resumed the walk, I placed it on some rocks to get some quick shots. I didn’t expect much, but ended up liking this one quite a bit.
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.

Total lunar eclipse - September 7th - did not provide the most ideal conditions for observation. There was too much cloud cover.
The last light of the day faltered on the edge of the world, a dusk so dramatic it felt staged by the sky itself. The sun hung low, half‑eclipsed, as if unsure whether to stay or surrender. Shadows gathered along the horizon, and in that dimming glow I felt the ache of a friendship slipping beyond reach.
There was a time when her presence was a quiet lantern in the dark—fragile, yes, but warm enough to guide a weary soul. She spoke of fears in a voice that trembled like ripples on the shoreline, fears I tried to understand but could never fully grasp. They were storms that lived not only behind her eyes, but in her world, storms she had learned to navigate alone. I listened, I truly cared, but I did not yet know the shape of the tempest gathering around her.
And then, without warning, she vanished—carried off in a fury that was never truly hers. A sudden storm, inherited, imposed. One she had endured for far too long.
Only later did I understand that the fury that swept her away was not born from her heart, but from the world that had enveloped her in darkness.
Now I stand at the horizon’s edge, powerless to reach her, powerless to turn her grief into hope. The sky burns with the last embers of day, and I feel the eclipse settle over my heart. The light of our connection—once steady, once certain—fades into something distant, something I can sense but no longer touch.
Before the darkness claimed the land, I built a small world for her out of words. A fragile refuge, yes, but a refuge nonetheless. A place where she could step outside her nightmares, even if only for a breath. A place where she could feel safe, valued, unbroken.
It was only a dream, a temporary shelter made of sentences and sincerity. But when someone lives in the shadows, even a dream can be a haven. Even a moment of gentleness can be a lifeline.
If she ever felt that—if even once she rested in the quiet I tried to offer—then the sacrifice of my heart was worth it. The light may be eclipsed now, but it existed. It mattered. And somewhere beyond the storm that took her, I hope it still reaches her in ways I cannot.
For now, I remain here at the world’s edge, watching the last sliver of sun slip beneath the horizon, holding onto the truth that even eclipsed light is not extinguished. It waits. It endures. It returns.

Approaching 94% eclipse this shot was taken along the river Teign at Red Rock near Bishopsteignton. A group of people are having a beach party to celebrate the eclipse as 221108 passes by with the 1V59 1403 Manchester Picadilly to Paignton.
During the maximum period of the eclipse it became darker but 6% of sunlight certainly made a big difference compared to the last time i experianced an eclipse in 1999.

Esta foi logo que ficou total, depois formou-se uma nebulosidade e eu parei de tirar mais fotos...
Composite of the lunar eclipse of January 2019. Nikon D7200 with 70 to 300 lens. Notice the grayish white moon before the eclipse started changing to the Blood Moon, then to a yellow at the end of the eclipse. Quite a Heavenly show that night!
Here is a 3 part lunar eclipse compilation from early Friday, March 14th 2025 from Toledo, OH. Going left to right, the first image is from 2:09am, which is about 16 minutes until totality began. The second photo was right at 3am on the dot near max totality, and then the last image was back into the partial phase at 4am or 29 minutes after totality ended. The colors were more muted as there were some high transparent clouds that had moved in by that point.

I saw the moon only briefly last night as it disappeared behind clouds shortly after rising. As pictured here, it was already eclipsing when it popped up over the horizon ...
The awesome, and amazing (but sometimes annoying) Trouble Dethly asked me to do 'Through the Lens' this month for his magazine, Eclipse. This is just one of the shots that I did - but if you want to see the rest as well as get a list of credits for the items that I used, then check out his magazine here --> issuu.com/eclipsemagazinesl/docs/eclipse_magazine_march_2018
The whole magazine is pretty awesome c:
August 12, 2026. Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, France.
We visited the organized public observation of the solar eclipse at Place Jean-XXIII in the Saint-Roch district, hosted by local astronomy association DENeb. So cool as the local youth, elderies and youth all came together here.
At maximum eclipse, more than 90% of the Sun was obscured by the Moon. Previous one we experienced in France as well: in Dieppe August 11, 1999, when we had a 100% (full) eclipse.
These photographs were made around the peak of the eclipse on Lucky 200 film. As the daylight dropped, the film began to shift in colour as well, giving some of the later frames their unusually warm, almost amber appearance.
I focused more on the people, less on the sun. Had a few peaks of course.
