Description
The Lunar eclipse last night here on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. It was a VERY cloudy night which ruined my idea of having a full start to finish of the eclipse but this is what I ended up with. This is my first ever attempt at a lunar eclipse.The first moon was taken at 10:30pm.
The second moon was taken at 11:20 pm
The third moon was taken at 12:00 am
The last moon was taken at 1:15am.
I used photoshop CS5 to stitch the photos together and added a small amount of contrast/brightness.
Equipment:
Pentax x90
Tripod
Photoshop CS5
Patience

Ouch! I think the worst thing I've done yet is go shopping during that huge storm the other day. LMAO
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha I love the storms we get! They're awesome

Well yeah, but you dont live in Ipswich. By the time they get out to you they are just flashes with maybe a bit of rain. ;D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah they tend to break down and weaken by time the get to the coast
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But you guys get good lightning strikes. And normally there isnt alot of wind blowing rain and other crap everywhere (unlike here) so its easier to take photos of the lightning.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I hope to get some good strikes soon!

Same here! I just hope that there isnt so much rain, like last year though. ://
