Feb. 20, 2008 Eclipse Shots

Share your best shots of the lunar eclipse last night. It was so beautiful! =)

I took about 50-60 shots with the tripod last night experimenting with different shutter speeds, aperture settings, zoom lengths. That’s the best thing about still subjects when you’re taking pictures - you can take your time in setting it all up.

I experimented with shutter speeds ranging from 1/30 to 15 seconds. The best shutter speeds (not too light, not too dark) were around 1.5 to 5 seconds. The pics taken with a longer shutter speed captured a sort of reddish tint from the moon..









Just messing around with 8 second shutter speed… moving the camera around while the shutter was open. =D

Excellent pics, thanks for sharing phatima1. It is never easy to take pics of moon, if you dont have a decent tele lens, but u did a great job.

thumbs up.
