the lunar eclipse

I made an attempt at photographing the lunar eclipse last night.  However, I have a really severe case of Raynaud’s Phenomenon in my fingers (especially my right hand) as a chemotherapy side effect.  Consequently, I couldn’t stand outside too long looking at the eclipse.  I did capture this interesting, blurred image of the rusty colored moon that almost looks like it was taken in time lapse.  I’m sure I couldn’t reproduce it if I tried.

My friend Ben gave me some night shooting tips (I obviously don’t shoot at night very often) — you can see his much better moon shot over in his 365 day photo blog.

(By the way if you looked at the eclipse, the two bright “stars” near the moon were Regulus and the planet Saturn.)
