The earth went between the sun and the moon, so the moon was no longer illuminated by the sun for a couple minutes. sorry if someone else already said it, I was too lazy to read all the responses.
Very humbling if you ask me, like we're just some big tennis ball casting a shadow out into space. It's not everyday that you see something as simple as a shadow in such a grand display.
Also all these photos are cool, I thought about taking one but my cam is not top notch and I don't have a tripod. It did get me thinking though, how badass of a pic would it be to have a shot from the moon looking at the sun as the earth blocks it out, kinda like our solar eclipses I guess but I'm sure it would be cool looking.
I only got a pic of it when it was partially eclipsed. I couldn't get a pic of it when it was red. I think I had condensation on the lens from taking it inside then going back out. And I can't upload the pic I did get vbecause photobucket rapes the quality.
anyone notice how many more stars there was too? it was crazy. the summertime is the best time though to see stars because there are so fucking many. crazy shit
Once the moon lowered a bit in the sky I had a bunch of trees blocking my view so I took some shots with framing. unfortunately to expose the trees the moon is way overexposed.
not quite, it was the earth that moved.
this is how you get star trail shots, 30sec isn't very long, but he got the same effect leaving the shutter open, the earth rotated, and the stars traveled slightly.
yeah, those are the star trails/ moon trail. It's amazing how much the earth moves in such a short time without you even realizing it. Anyway, it's possible the tripod was bumped too, but that would cause more of a blurriness. at 100% none of my pics are too sharp, especially those of just the moon. they get pretty noisy too.
shit I missed that he left it open for 30 seconds, that's pretty intense, I was just having problems with my tripod slowly leaning in the snow, I tried to push it down completely but it always seemed to move slightly.
