Not easy. Had to go to ISO 2000, F/5.6 and 0.5 seconds.

    Very nice series, and sharp. We enjoyed a nice clear view of it in San Diego.
    Have a great day!

    Ian, these are outstanding. clap.gif What lens was used?

    I say that after trying to photograph the event through a thick cloud cover her in Va. I was only afforded glimpses that lasted a few seconds and made focusing/exposure almost impossible. Very nicely done. Sign me...Jealous from Va.

    Nice, start to finish! I love the progression from 'black and white' to 'color!'

    Great shots! In my part part of the world we had rain and overcast skies... Nice sharpness considering the length of the exposure and how amazingly fast the moon moves!
