Total lunar eclipse tonight

[Slimline]

Well using my finepix s5100 on ten times zoom i managed a few mediocre shots out of 96. I was having tripod problems and im new to the digital camera scene. But anyway, i dont think they turned out all to bad....

Eclipse 1
Eclipse 2
Eclipse 3
Eclipse 4
Eclipse 5


Hmm i should have used raw format to articulate better quality though...

Someone needs to post some telescope pics of it... I have an awesome one someone posted on dpreview forums (of a fullmoon from a few months back). Will check there and see what they're doing for this.

Here's a thread w/ a real nice one...

alot of your guys had your shutter speed set very wrong for the moon

My ancient A20 does not have an adjustable shutter. Send me money and I'll buy an S1 IS.

photographing the moon is deceptive, you think that because its dark you need a slow shutter speed
however it puts out a large amout of light, ive shot the moon at f/8, 1/300s @ 300mm handheld before in the summer because its so bright
