Lunar Eclipse

I am sure others had better luck with the Lunar Eclipse. These 4 frames were between 9.16pm and 9.20pm in Hobart Tasmania. After this the cloud rolled in and we missed the best part. I had hoped to show more of a transtion however the time was too limited.

Sandy Bay under the stars

The boat shed at Sandy Bay. This was quite a challenging shot to capture. The Sodium Vapor lights on Sandy Bay Road light the boat shed yellow. So there is a heavy filter on the lower half of the image to correct the white balance. I also tried to shoot a separate shot for the sky and blend the two frames - in the end that proved too unnatural to use. I sat on this for a week wondering whether or not to delete it - and then Sophia seemed to appreciate it so here it is. 1 second at ISO 3200 @ F4.
