Description
Lunar eclipse: wikki"A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the Moon passes through some portion of the Earth's shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, the Moon is always full during a lunar eclipse. The type and length of an eclipse depend upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital nodes. The most recent total lunar eclipse was on 28 August 2007 where the sun, earth and moon were in total alignment. The initial stage started at 07:52 UTC, while the total eclipse began at 09:52 UTC turning it bronze, with reddish to blood red at its peak. Eastern Australia and New Zealand were in the perfect zone to view the total lunar eclipse or "blood moon".
well, they say we were in the right place for the recent lunar eclipse, but boy was it cloudy and tough to see. i was only able to capture it sporadically, so what you see is the best of what i got. compilation of all of them put together in photoshop, not much editing at all. hope you enjoy
because the next one won't be for a few years now!

I wish I had a camera good enough to take shots of the one I just watched. I dunno if it was a total! one,..but..I watched it start out from being a white moon til It was full covered and turned to a reddish orange color, but..I'm inside now[obviously if I'm typing..>>] but..I'll keep watching it to see if it turns red :3.
Beautiful shots btw.^^ I envy you and your camera...>>

I remember that!
It was so incredibly cloudy that you could barely see anything.
Isn't it interesting how spectacular the moon is, and how much we all take it for granted?

I've seen a score of other deviants post their pictures of the lunar eclipse, but this is by far the most interesting and best presented work. Nice!

OOh, you got pictures!! I was in the PERFECT location, we saw it clearly from start to finish, and I didn't have a decent camera to take pictures! Yay for you!

gosh darn it, don't you hate it when you see something and don't have a camera 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
YES! I really do hate it, and I said to myself, "Oh well, SOMEONE will get pictures of it!"

which was better than i was

Heh, well I read in Yahoo news (which is where I heard about it) that I am living in a prime location to see it, so I was like, "Hot damn, no WAY I'm missing this!" Normally, we're like you, too cloudy, or like other areas and not in the right place in the world to see it well.
