The lunar eclipse

Anyone else catch it. Its the first time I saw one. I thought it was pretty rad when the moon was red.

 

i did, i watched it eclipse... it was sweet. there isnt going to be another one for 3 years i think. the moon turned all reddish..

 

The next one isn't until 2010.

 

I was never informed there was going to be an eclipse

I feel a little left out...

 

One of my customers told me a few hours before it happened. I would've loved to see it, but I was working. Maybe next time.

 

I wanted to see it but it was fucking cloudy and raining where I was at.

 

I wasn't able to see it After working a 14 hour day I just couldn't keep my eyes open!

 

my mom was driving at the time and she called me when she noticed it, so i stepped outside and looked at it for a minute.


i've seen lunar eclipses before though, and don't find them that exciting

 

Yea I saw it, it was my second. I just want to see a solar eclipse now.

 

i hate those goddamned eclipses

 

I caught it with my camera. Click my gallery button.

 

Stinkfoot! DO you do photography as a living? I have such a passion for it and miss my darkroom, and those photos are stunning.

 

It's a hobby and thanks.

 

You are very welcome.

 

You have some great photos there.

I missed it becase of rain.

Thanks

 

I dont really understand the lunar eclipse, however. Why does it turn red, and why is the corner so shiny when it is almost covered?

 

I've got pics of the moon when it was like a red orange

 

Don't quite know the reason for the color... could be that the red end of the spectrum is what reflects off the moon when it's otherwise in the Earth's shadow.

The moon didn't pass directly through the center of the Earth's shadow, which would be alot bigger than the moon if you could see it. The pictures I took during the total phase of the event were longer exposures which made the moon much brighter than it actually appeared to the naked eye... and the reflected light would be brighter on the side of the moon that was closer to the edge of the earth's shadow.

 

Wow man. I went to your gallery to look at the eclipse photos but fell in love with the sunset shots on page 3. They are breathtaking.

 

Glad you enjoyed...
