Gotta throw my lunar eclipse in the ring

crimbfighter · Jan 21, 2019

The super red orange yellow green blue indigo violet wolf vampire blood moon eclipse. :biggrin-93:

I couldn't put together a composite because I wasn't able to get shots at regular intervals so I went with the single image.

About 10 minutes after its peak.
D500, 200-500 @ 500, f/6.3, 1.3 sec, ISO 4500

And this is what I was battling to get it... my batteries kept getting sucked down faster than a milkshake during my last diet. Brrrrrrrrr :icon_eek:

Haha, thanks! Always willing to risk a finger tip or little toe for my fellow photogs...

That is a really nice shot. I took a couple too but nowhere near as nice as that one.

Superb capture and rendering Tanner.
Here in Albuquerque we had high thin cloud cover so while I was able to catch a shot, it wasn't as crisp as I had hoped.
Your avatar image reminds me of the Kawi Concours I rode from '08 to '13 when I finally gave up two wheels. What a sweet ride that was.

Thanks! And don't feel bad, cause this was finally the best of, oh, about 90..

Thank you! I was glad for the clear skies here, but man oh man did it bring they bring the cold along with them.. Though I think the cold helped calm the atmosphere a bit.

The bike in my avatar was my old '06 Triumph Sprint ST. I enjoyed that bike but outgrew it rather quickly. After the Triumph I had a 2011 Concours 14 that I LOVED! Had it tricked out just for me. I ended up selling it a couple years back to fund home improvement projects before our daughter was born. I think my next bike will be a BMW, but that's a ways down the road.
