Photography
The last Luner eclipse for the next 3 years occurred on Tuesday, November 8th between 4:45am and 6:30am. While I didn’t really want to get up at 5am to take photos, I couldn’t miss this opportunity.
The skies were 100% clear, and it was -1c outside. I scared a couple of rabbits that were jumping around on my lawn, but the moon was magnificently red. Here are a few moon and star shots (Orion is just visible above the houses in the dark sky shots)
I have been wanting to try this since the end of June this year. A fellow photographer friend produced an amazing photo with a Lens Ball and a Sparkler. I thought how hard can it be? I have a Lens Ball and I bought some Sparklers for Canada Day. This past weekend, I finally had an hour or so to set up a little studio (I used the shower in our house so that the ceiling fan could remove any smoke or fumes and not set off the fire alarms) to take the photos.
While I am happy with a first attempt, I learned so much while I did this exercise. There will definitely be a round 2 and I think I will also incorporate a beautiful piece of Caithness Glass that we have in the house.
