A Total Eclipse of the Moon: March 3rd 2007

Improved version in WORKSHOP..


Thought Id call in and share this one with TN. This is one of many shots tonight not sure if its the best yet as I am still shooting!! I found this subject rather tricky because at this magnification this is the slowest shutter speed I could use without causing motion blur.

Going for a ISO400 was not a option at totality and there is a certain amount of noise here although I will use a noise reduction program later. All is sharp at full resolution although the high ISO has stole a little detail.

Canon EOS 400D DIGITAL
Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3
Exposure Time: 1/1

Hi Stephen,

Unfortunately because of cloudy weather I couldn't see the eclipse here in Canada, but you captured it perfectly.

Hello Stephen,
Thanks for documenting this unusual phenomenon.
Excellent quality and colours. Composition well banlanced by the small star in the lower left corner of the shot.
Best greetings,
Michal

Stephen,
OUTSTANDING!!!
Feel speechless to view such an occurance.
Thank you for sharing this great "gift" with us all.
Best regards,
Mario.

Hello Stephen.
It had to be you!
I was waiting for the eclipse shots, as we had clouds and rain for several days. I wanted to see the red colour caused by the atmosphere, and here it is, wondeful and clear.
Thanks a lot MF!

Hi Stephen,

This is wonderful!!! Thank you for posting - it is still light here in the Western USA so we won't get to see the real thing.

Hey! that's not fair...the Eclipse comes to your part of the world first! I've been getting all my cameras ready but I have a terrible feeling because of scattered cloud, I may not get a good view.
This is a excellent capture of the Eclipse Stephen, the colours are great. I'm keeping my fingers crossed the clouds pass.

Hola Stephen:
Big shot! Es una linda pintura de la luna eclipsada. En Argentina se podìa ver el eclipse hace unas dos horas, pero yo no lo pude ver por estar nublado sobre la ciudad en la cual vivo.
Has logrado muy buenos detalles con una correcta exposiciòn.
Felicitaciones.

Hi Stephen

By the time the Moon was in our sky over New Zealand, the eclipse had been and gone! :-( Thank you for sharing this beautiful image. The colour of the Moon is quite spectacular. :-)

Just fabulous, Stephen.
So good to see you. We have missed your beautiful work lately.
This shot is incredibly clear, and the light is magnificent.
Thank you for sharing such an "out-of-this-world" occurrence. : )

Bonjour Stefen
Excellente image de cette éclispe lunaire prise en éclipse totale les couleurs et netteté sont superbes. Bravo
Amicalement Robi
Mais ou as-tu dégoté un 1200mm ?

Hi Steve,
Great to see a photo from you again. I hope all is well. This is a very beautiful photo. The warm glow on the moon is wonderful and the lighter reflection on the top left shows the result of the eclips best. I kind of like the star in the bottom a lot as well.
TFS,
Niek

Hello Stephen

Fantastic picture of the moon event last night - and I am not jalouse at all :-((. As we had heavy clouds most of the day I was looking forward to this event and I was checking the weather through the evening. Up to 10:30 we had nice weather but then heavy clouds came in and there was no way to see the eclipse and take any pictures.

Your picture is among the best moon shots on TN. Excellent sharpness (what lens did you use). The colours are really good and just like I remember it from 2004.

Very good job and tfs

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for sharing this beautiful celestial moment. Well done on a tricky exposure, the colours and detail are great. I missed this event on the West Coast of Canada due to cloud cover so thanks again!

Cheers,
Carl

Hi Steve and nice to see you back here (even if its for a short period of time)

This is a splendid shot of this lunar eclipse and i'm a bit amazed by the colors you managed to get on this one...very interesting ;)
The details are really terrific and i love to see all those craters so distinctively there and the composition is wonderful.
Hope you be back with more posts :)

Cheers and TFS

Hello Stephen,
Magnificent capture.Details and spherical view are excellent.
TFS..:-)

Great shot - I managed to miss it despite the perfect conditions... which was a real shame. But your shot shows me what I missed and at least I can see what I missed.

Great presentation as well... Seems I have managed to miss quite a few of your shots in recent months! I also see you have upgraded to the 400D as well!

Great capture, take care and TFS

Hi Stephen,
This is a very nice and detailed eclipse shot. Great job. Thanks.
Sayat

Awsome shot! The colors are magnificent and the detail is incredible. I've always had a problem taking pictures of the moon because it's movement always makes it blurry for me. Great job!

Oh my gosh Stephen, with what kind of lens did you use to take this amazing photo? Wow....incrediable totally incrediable. TFS
Donna:o)
