  1. Nice photo of the eclipse Jeff. I got a couple really nice ones just before the clouds rolled in here in the Portland area, forcing me to drive 175 miles to chase the clear sky, then to discover more impressive foreground subjects under a then bright full moon out of the eclipse time, but for some reason, and I'd like to share them with you here, I cannot understand why my Google+ hyperlinks (as my cover page now shows this one eclipse image but I cannot hyperlink it here.) Why does it not display in Google+ hypler-linked posts as easily as Facebook does? So I'll link two images through my Digital Photography Review site, these can be seen in very large hi-res in DP review, either click on the image twice to enlarge or follow the 'Slide-show-Start' button in top tool bar, then in next window click the "Fullscreen" button at near top left toolbar, sorry for many instructions but to help others that may find themselves lost at new sites as to where to click. [DP Review are the ones that invented the Fullscreen you see here now in Google+ and Facebook.] Once in the DP review slideshow, either click your <Left-Right> arrow keys on keypad to access further images, or select from the lower screen thumbnail string of chronology with mouse; and resting mouse for a few seconds allows all inhibiting online frames to disappear for full-screen effect, touching mouse brings back frames-tools. >  http://www.dpreview.com/galleries/1579463287/photos/2897729/lunar-eclipse-ending-morning-apr-15th-2014_mount-hood-lenticular-cloudcap_stitch-a_new-progress_3000pxl_titles_banner-titles-for-googleplus 

  2. When the moon is in the seventh house and jupiter aligns with mars. Peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars. So glad i survived till this day. Didnt think id get this far.

  3. Beautiful work! You’re so easy to view, but hard to contact. I work at The Wilderness Society and we’re interested in using some of your photos. Please contact me. Thanks!

  4. That is the bright star Spica to the right +Cheryl Dixon.  There was a thin layer of clouds that night which created some halos resembling lens flare in some of my photos.  It became thicker as the moon was coming out of eclipse, so I stopped shooting at that point.

  5. I was in Yosemite National Park, and captured this at 12:50 am as a single exposure, 2 seconds at f/8, ISO 6400 using a Canon EOS 5D Mark III camera with EF70-200mm f/4L IS USM lens +2x teleconverter (400mm effective focal length). +Heber Sar

    My only good eclipse image that I produced before clouds took over that night, I later assembled a composite of that image over Mount Hood, which I also took images from Mount Hood later at around 2 ~ 4 am after driving over 175 miles round trip, and well after the eclipse had ended. I had planned to be somewhere to attain a dramatic foreground and this worked, albeit a composite made from similar regional images. Also see my Mark's Cosmiclight photo album here in Google+ . For some reason i cannot seem to hyperlink separate photos in Google+ as we easily do in Facebook and other sites.Any advice on this from you is greatly appreciated. – Mark

    You were getting "our" clouds, just delayed by an hour or two. I wound up getting shots of the thin clouds that the city lights from Livermore lit up as they scooted across Altamont Pass. At times the eclipsed moon all but vanished.

    I almost figured you had teamed up with +Michael Frye considering you were in "his backyard" in Yosemite, but he and Claudia were far to the south, on "your" side of the Sierra Nevada.

    Considering the lack of snow, we'll be driving Tioga Pass before the end of the month, more than likely! (it's the only one left closed!)
