Last night, I made a stab at photographing the lunar eclipse.
I was disappointed when I realized that the lunar eclipse would be going on during the Florida Gator basketball game, but was hoping to catch it later. I guess the eclipse brought the Gators some luck, because they pulled out a victory in the final seconds.
By the time I got home from the game, the moon was starting to turn bright again. I grabbed my camera for a few shots, and quickly discovered that my "prosumer" camera just wasn't adequate for the job. My tripod is totally inadequate too because it is one of those little mini tripods, just a few inches tall. It could not support the weight of my camera and telephoto lens, so I braced the camera against my car. I took a bunch of shots, but most were blurry and out of focus.
Oh well, maybe the next time we have a lunar eclipse, I will have a DSLR and a good tripod!

Too bad there is not a lighthouse on the moon - for it there were one, you'd have the best photo of it!!
