I caught the lunar eclipse behind trees high on the cliffs of Yosemite Valley Monday night. There are so many similar pictures of eclipses of the moon alone… I like to add something extra when I can. I chased the edge of the shadow of this ridge line for 15-20 minutes as the moon entered eclipse and turned red, moving, shooting, and moving again to place the moon by or behind the trees on the ridge.
This is a single exposure captured for 0.5 seconds at f/8, ISO 3200, but I also have brighter, bracketed exposures in case I have time to better recover the ridge line detail in +Adobe Photoshop at some future date.
Captured on a Canon EOS 5D Mark III camera, EF70-200mm f/4L IS USM lens +2x Teleconverter II.

I got a picture in my memory from looking out the front door when I woke up so beautiful. My kitty and I, were both amazed. I didnt get to snap a photo, but was beautiful. I will give you a clear picture of what I saw. The moon was red then eclipse happened. Then it look like a quarter of moon was lit up, and then it turned purpleish, and went dark. Then it cleared up and was fully white.
Gorgeous!

Very nice shot. I think the ridgeline is just fine. If you punch up the ridgeline too much it could end up taking away from the moonglow.
Woah! Beautiful
