Here is my shot at just after 10 PM Eastern Time, USA

I wish I had something to post. It was freezing out and although the clouds opened up here in Los Angeles, there were atmospheric conditions causing the moon to come out fuzzy. Oh well, next time. If it turns out that I find a decent pic, I'll post it.

ulrikft: Nice picture!

Here's one from central Canada taken out of the living room window with -33 C outside.

I REALLLLLLY need to buy a REAL tripod. Im using a $200 special from the camera store, designed for video cameras, not for my digital camera... this is with my 400mm Sigma... it was freezing cold, and i had forgotten about the eclipse so this is about 10:50 or so tonight, eastern:

When Worlds Collide

Attack of the Q-tip

These were taken from Roseville California
When it finally came out from behind the clouds

Just now. 200mm

Hehe, love the sparring Q-tips...

This was a good time, it's not absolutely frigid here in BC, but could be warmer, these three were taken with a Rebel XT + 50f1.8 on a tripod behind a Bushnell 60mm spotting scope on another tripod...

Long story short, if you want to digiscope something that moves, get a proper mount

Thats so weird... to see something in my area, and to see something in a completely different area, and its the same thing...just amazing...

Vycor

Just went out on my back step to check it out... its a full moon now. This is 1am EST... i wish it wasnt so cold I woulda sat outside taking photos of the different phases, just too damn cold.

This is at ISO400, Handheld, 400mm, f/5.6, Autofocus

A few from D.C.
Went out to shoot last night in fairly cold weather. Only item I could think of that would be tall enough to fit in the frame was the Washington Monument. Taken with the Canon 350D and EF 70-210mm.

Freezing in LA??? Try -32F or -36C in eastern Ontario. I haven't got them resized and uploaded yet. After spending 3 hours outdoors last night I had to have a hot bath and went to bed. I'll come back here when I get them ready to post but I'm happy that the sky was crystal clear and my series of the moon from full to eclipse are tack sharp.

In the mean time here's something I was fortunate enough to catch last fall on my final caonoe trip of the year. This is at Frontenac Park wilderness area in south central Ontario.

It was pretty cold in PA while taking these pictures last night. I got two that are not too bad...the second I thought was pretty cool with the stars around the moon. Please let me know what you think. Thanks...Scott

You guys are a tenacious, talented bunch!

These are all wonderful. I missed it, unfortunately, but I never would have been able to get such shots as these.

Let's see some more!

Lunar Eclipse
Ok, here are a few shots from the Seattle area.

Nikon D300, Tamron 200-500 @ 500mm

My lame attempt.
Thanks Tom

Very nice shots, everyone! Great work!

I totally blew this one The clouds broke just as the eclipse was starting. I have some decent shots of the start and end of the eclipse, but just a disaster of the full eclipse with those nice colors. Between focusing issues, some camera shake (I was out at the beach at Bayville, and had a strong wind off the Long Island Sound) and probably just some user error, I didn't end up with much in the way of usable shots of the full eclipse. At least I know for next time

Early in the eclipse:


Probably the best of the full eclipse:

A couple of my attempts last night.

Lunar Eclipse from Nor Cal
lens too short
clouds too thick
better than being hit in the knee with a stick

i_worship_the_King

my 2 attempts
These are 2 composites I'm working on for a calendar. Hope you enjoy!

We had 4 spotlights (about 500 watts each) to light up the tower for the shot. Would have loved to use diffused flashes, but I didn't have enough and the wind was not cooperating. Used Nikon D70, cheapo tripod, 300mm nikon.

(This is the Methodist University tower, Fayetteville NC)

1. Transition: This was plagued by intermittent clouds (particularly the first frame...)



2. Above the tower

I just discovered this thread. I didn't think shots of the moon would be considered landscapes, so I never looked here. A bunch of us have been posting threads about the lunar eclipse over in "Other Cool Shots"

My Lunar Eclipse over Las Vegas thread is here.

I have some here - nothing special. Should we have this thread moved to other cool shots? And then should they all get amalgamated? Thoughts?

Is that some Photoshop trickery?

schmoo

I'll move it to OCS but there are too many separate threads already going to merge them all.

In mine there was a little. I wouldn't call it trickery though....

The tower was lit up by about 2000 watts of light placed in a tripod configuration around it (normally only the cross at the top is lit). Sitting the camera on the tripod I took a few of the cross (one to expose the tower correctly, one for the cross @ the top). Then a lens switch and zoom in on the moon. They're taken from all in the same area, but the lens switch was necessary to get the moon even barely visible.

In the mean time I was free handing all the shots of the moon as it faded away all the way up to the orangeish color. That had to be done on a tripod with a timer, even my finger on the shutter was causing blur (I orded a wireless release today to fix that in the future...).

So the rainbow is a composite of around 9 shots, the other 3.

Hope you were askin' me.

As for recent posts, I still love the washington monument

coscorrosa

Love the shots in here!

Here's my attempt (400mm cropped, compsite of three images, which I had a longer lens so I could get more details on the surface).

kisi

great shots in here!! here is my attempt... measly 105mm, heh.
