Hunter's Moon / Blood Moon Eclipse

I did it, 
I finally got a couple okay shots of the full moon!
I was determined to try again this month
during the Hunter's Moon / Blood Moon eclipse.
There were many, many bad shots, too.
I tired various settings I read about 
as well as the preprogrammed settings
on my Nikon D5000 with Tamron 18-270mm lens
set up on a tripod (no remote shutter release). 
Just luck to get these few:


Full moon before going to bed.






Near total eclipse, low in the sky around 5:30 AM.
Tweaked in Photoshop Elements.







Leaving my house around 6:45 AM.
Lots of clutter in this shot, but it was the only safe spot along the road I could
pull over to see the moon above the bluffline.

  2. Gorgeous photos! I wasn't wise enough to grab my camera as we sat outside and looked at the moon that day!
