I simply cannot stop giggling when I think about this failed attempt of capturing the full lunar eclipse recently. I absolutely wasn’t prepared, had no right equipment, skills or knowledge of how to photograph anything in the dark with my DSLR camera. I kept thinking that any digital camera with good enough zoom would get better shot at it. So all I managed to get out of it is.. well, you will see.
First let me tell you, it was not easy to find the moon. When it was about the right time to start looking I could not see any sight of it due to cloud cover by the horizon. We took the car and drove to find better viewing spot with less light pollution and trees around. Still no luck.
As we turned around all bummed out for most likely missed chance of seeing anything, all of a sudden I noticed this red ish mist in the sky. No way! Is that Moon? Clouds cleared a tiny bit more revealing very Mars looking moon. Copycat much, Moon? Mars was there too just a little lower.
Isn’t this just one wonderful tiny red speck? Ahaha!
The sight in my binoculars was quite nice actually. Wish I had more tricks up my sleeve when it comes to photography in the dark though.
