I slept through the last big lunar eclipse, but I did get this one when I woke up in the morning:

    I love the light on the moon from those mornings when the sun is still below the horizon, but rising fast to chase the moon from our view. Great capture! thumb.gifthumb

    I don't know where I'm going, but I'm going anyway.

    Really nice shot, Richard.
    I especially like the light poles! :D

    Nice capture, Richard - I like the honesty of the shot. And... what graffiti? I see a cemetary in the foreground. Or is graffiti a technical photography term that I don't know? Cheers, Sara

    Sara is correct--it's a cemetery, not graffiti, though I can see how one could get the wrong idea. Here's a 100% crop:

    As Taz pointed out, it is grainy. I imagine that's partly due to the distance (it was more than a kilometer away) but mainly because I underexposed it a bit to avoid blowing out the moon detail. I had to push the shadows quite a bit in post.

    Cemetary? .... Ah... ha...

    Grainy?... Actually I'm surprised you got such good detail in the moon.

    It has color as a result of atmospheric interference (particulate, dew, smog, etc)

    The interference reduces as the moon rises
