Lunar eclipse

There was a lunar eclipse on Wednesday night at a reasonable hour (10 ish), and fortunately my husband remembered! I saw him hustling the kids down the stairs late –after having woken Eli up– and asked what was up… the eclipse they chorused. So I grabbed my camera. This was a first attempt:

Then I got smart and ran inside for the tripod, and got these shots… the one is remarkably sharp given my skill, camera and COLD conditions (probably about 8 degrees outside). I used my Panasonic FZ30 which has a 12x optical zoom, so I was happy!

    Good going, Sarah! I remembered after I was in bed and went to look but we had clouds… Somehow I hadn’t seen any photos on-line so I m really enjoying yours. Could be a quilt down the line? The moon really looks like batiks I have!

    Great pictures Sarah! I did not see it in reality as it was here at around 4 in the morning. No way I am staying up that late 🙂
