I’ve been looking forward to tonight’s total lunar eclipse for a while now. When I saw the weather report last week I jumped for joy and cried at the same time. Snow in the mountains meant great skiing but it also meant I wouldn’t see the lunar eclipse at all.
Fortunately the clouds decided to part ways so that I could capture almost all of the lunar eclipse. As I left my friends house I realized the sky was perfectly clear and the moon was shining bright. Racing home I grabbed my tripod, remote, 70-300mm lens and set up outside to watch the eclipse.
