Lunar Eclipse Photo
As some of you might know, there was a full lunar eclipse earlier this morning and since I've never seen one before and the next one isn't until next year, I figured I might as well set my alarm for 1:30 am, get up and take a look for myself. Of course, I took out my Canon 20D along with my 70-200 f4/L IS (which I was wishing was a 600 f4/L IS) along with my trusty (but aging) Manfrotto tripod and my favorite ball head ever, the Really Right Stuff BH-55 with quick release clamp.
After many shots at a variety of f-stops, shutter speeds and ISO settings, here's my best shot of the bunch. It's my first real attempt at night photography and shooting the moon so if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears and would love the feedback. I've got 6 months for the next one.
