Michael in Greensboro, NC At 7:40pm yesterday I received a call from my friend while I was chowing down on some good ole Elizabeth’s Pizza and watching a good movie. My friend announced that the lunar eclipse was happening. Being that this doesn’t happen very often I threw down my greasy piece of pizza and ran toward the door. (I get too excited sometimes about things) Running outside I looked eastward and indeed the moon had a shadow almost a pacmac look. I had to get a picture of this so I scrambled for my car to get the tripod out which I have readily available at all times….well not really. As I was getting the tripod set up I saw this flash coming from behind me which lit up the whole area. I first thought…there aren’t any storms around here….it couldn’t be lightning. What was it…oh well keep working. Flash!! It happened again…it was a neighbor trying to take a picture of the moon from inside their condo standing in-front of a window. Using flash!!!! ahhhhhhh I say no more.Needless to say I got some descent shoots of the moon while using a 200mm lense WITHOUT flash. =)
