Total Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon) Info

[James G]

I'm planning to try shooting this moon next Monday, and was wondering what settings to start with.

Found this link which might be of interest to anyone else planning to try a shot or two.
I reckon this guy has covered just about every option.. except help me wake up and get up!

Good luck to all going eclipse watching tonight! Not visible from here (and sky not clear enough anyway) so I'm looking forward to seeing all your photos.

and the world didn't come to an end either....

I was lucky, it was very still up here in the Midlands, although a high haze did develop around the total eclipse which was a pity. It was about the best shootig conditions all year. Glad I stayed up... mind you talking to myself in the dark (I do that when changing settings... ), freaked the local wildlife...
