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.

Beautiful
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!
Fantastic !!!
Stunning shot!! I'm really looking forward to the +Landscape Photography Show Tuesday!!
