My home city of Perth, Western Australia was definitely one of the best places in the world to view the Super, blue, blood moon last night and i took loads of snaps! 🙂
Just to whet your appetites here’s a small sample…

Moonrise 7:15 pm
The air temperature/density variations produce a marked effect on the spherical disk of the full (super) moon
Almost full into shadow of the earth
A ‘full’ Blood Orange
Starting to come out ‘the other side’
In black and white – but still a colour photo (had to adjust camera exposure settings for brighter moon)
And fully out – unscathed!
Better shots coming soon!
love.

Awesome!!! So glad you got to see you got them. We had nothing! Rebel Guy was not a happy camper. At least we got to see yours. 🙂

So sorry to hear you had no luck with the weather. 😦
I’ll be posting more tomorrow your time but they may not cheer RG up much?
I learned quite a few things about photo taking with the Nikon from the experience 🙂

OMG. AWESOME. *sigh* I need a real camera. It’s always me & my stupidphone.
I think we may have comparative posts on full moons.

I had just got my new Nikon for Christmas the month before those shots were taken and i was feeling pleased with myself at the time.
Looking at them now they don’t measure up. I got better! But they did show the event pretty well ( I screwed up slightly and was indoors for the Full coverage came out as it was waxing and took the rest of the shots.)

It’s more the camera than the operator! 😉 (Gotta admit many of the photos impress me!)

Well, you still have to have “the eye”. You have to be able to decide a topic, have a subject and the focus. And, then there is desire…the drive & want to capture a moment in time.
Anybody can press a button & snap a photo, esp. during the days of the Kodak Instamatics & Polaroids. It takes vision & purpose to get good shots.
Oh, and…a really good camera helps. 😉😎
You mentioned, somewhere, that you have telescopes? Love to watch the sky as well as Moon?

I do! But not as much as i used to. These days you get amazingly detailed images on your computer of the galaxies, nebulae, binary stars and planets that you can get through the telescopes that i can afford! 😉
I do check out the planets as they come around though – at least the 5 major ones. 🙂
