Lunar eclipse Kuwait - February 21st 2008

by NicoleB Email

Not the greatest eclipse shot ever, but hey, short notice and a camera which doesn’t like low light ;)

Shot with a Casio EX-P505 and a Raynox Telephoto lens, using a chimney as a tripod and freezing my butt off :P


Here’s one from Hungary 2006
, a tad better.

Schade, Dirk :(
Ich habe gestern vergessen, die Zeitung fertig zu lesen.
Drin stand's, nur leider habe ich die Uhrzeit verpasst, so hatte ich nur den allerlezten Rest und hell wurds und der Mond war weg, habe also die "Erhellung" nicht mehr mitbekommen.


Sorry, Kontan, I wish I would have been better prepared...oh well ;)

I tried too... with my little sony cam the pic wasn't that great, even on ISO setting. Also, I didn't have a tripod and my hand was shaking.

Stupid hand.

I'm going to get a bionic hand.

The Hungary shot is lovely. The shot from last night, in context, is great - but if you didn't know what it was .....

I wanted to get pictures of it too as here the moon was blood red. But unfortunately I was in the hospital and didn't have my camera there.
