When the alarm woke us to step outside, we expected a cloud cover considering that we’d had a rainy afternoon into the early evening. Instead, we found the sky crystal-clear and the Blood Moon just ten minutes away from the maximum extent the eclipse was going to impact the lunar mass hovering high overhead. While our inclination had been to skip the event, we, somewhat reluctantly, gave into the nerdy desire to catch this celestial occurrence and are the happier for it. My only wish would be that I would have prepped earlier by setting my camera up on a tripod instead of needing to take nearly 30 photos before I finally got this decent shot that was handheld using a 200mm lens, 3200 ISO, f/2.8, at about 1/8th of a second.
