Did you get a shot of the blood moon.
I managed a to shoot the transition to the Blood Moon, then the moon went down behind the trees.
Not thrilled with my moon focusing skills
Shot with a vintage Tamron 200-400 F/5.6 on a D610, tripod mounted.
ISO some at 1600, some at 2400
F/10 (for most)
Spot metering set on the moon. checked spot on moon in live view.
Aperture priority set duration, up to 4 seconds.
AF to get focus (used live view enlarged) then switched to MF mode to prevent focus change (checked a few times on AF to ensure continued focus) - did try manually focusing but could not get any better than the AF.
It was about minus 12 out there, froze my fingers. Started at 4:15 a.m. finished close to 7:00 a.m.
Have tried moon shots before, this is my best so far, but obviously still need to work on it yet.
This first one is well pumped up in Corel PSPX7
Anyone know what happened here - I have a few shots like this with a line of black dots across the moon??
and then we had sunrise and the moon went down behind the trees.
