The Blood Moon


Tonight was the lunar eclpse when the earth is perfectly aligned between the sun and the moon. This then creates a shadow over the moon with only the colour red being able to pass. It therefore makes the moon seem to be red. I drove out to Wallaroo road to see if I could take some photos of it. I had the tripod, my trusty camera and my only zoom lens.........a 28 - 80mm. Not the biggest of lenses but I did still manage to get a decent photo. The tree was highlighted by a car that was approaching. It gave it a pretty cool effect I think. I think I may need to add to my lens collection if things like this are going to keep happening.
