Blood Rising

*Shots originally taken on April 14 and April 15*




I know this post is to little to late , but I didn't want to waste these photos and not share them. During my spring break I traveled to Las Vegas and Utah, mostly for hiking and to have a good view of the lunar eclipse. WHICH I WAS NOT AWARE OF until the day before and was not prepared with a telephoto lens.

So on the day of the blood moon I traveled to Tropic, Utah from Las Vegas. Both my dad and I were concerned and focusing on a place that is sucluded from major cities and street lights and also a close by hotel for the next day hiking trip (in another post). When we got to the location of the hotel that afternoon there was minimal street lights, which was good because it wasn't going to obstruct our view of the moon. Around 11pm we drove a mile out from where we were staying and found a pull out that was away from the streetlights. At that time is was 18 degrees outside.


Since I was not prepared with a telephoto lens I used the next best lens I had on me at the time. My 85 mm 1.5 f stop manual lens. They are not the best details when it comes sharpness and noise, but something is better than nothing! I'll make sure to be more prepared in October for the next blood moon!

And that was the last good looking photo that I go tot the moon.

The rest of the pictures below are some star photos that I did at random during the eclipse, to take advantage of the full view of the sky.

I hope everyone liked it. It took a lot of time and effort on my part to get the sun, moon and earth lined up just right. I think I'll try it again before the end of the year, maybe October.
