I took a few pics of the lunar eclipse tonight. Just my Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2 and a tripod. Never tried taking night time pics before, but I think I'll have a little better idea of the technique next time...there's...a lunar eclipse. Anyway, you can get an idea of the color. (In the extended entry.)
"Syme: It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. You wouldn't have seen the [Newspeak] Dictionary 10th edition, would you Smith? It's that thick. [illustrates thickness with fingers] The 11th Edition will be that [narrows fingers] thick. Winston Smith: So, The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect? Syme: The secret is to move from translation, to direct thought, to automatic response. No need for self-discipline. Language coming from here [the larynx], not from here

Great shots! Did you use a remote?
Thanks! No, I think that might have been part of the problem. While I had a nice stable tripod, I probably should have set the timer, too, so that every last vibration was out before the shutter opened.
Nice!
My stepdaughter and I tried for quite a while to get decent shots, without success. (We didn't have a tripod available.)
Oh man - that was beautiful. When it was full and only the crescent of brilliant silver-white "earthglow" remained, it was just magic.
Friends from all over the country were looking too, in different timezones - in Israel though one my friends had just gotten off work, at dawn, and the moon had already set.
Still it was fun to think of people spanning the globe, all delighted by this glorious sight.
