The Lunar Eclipse
We had been looking forward to the lunar eclipse the moment we heard about it. We so rarely get to see cool events like this, so we planned to let the kids stay up late - make hot chocolate and let them watch a movie. So About 7pm tonight I went to class and the sky was cloudy. It wasn't a good sign. But when I got home about 9:30 tonight, it had all but cleared up. So I got out my camera, set up the tripod on the deck and tuned the settings on it as good as I could and took a whole bunch of shots over the course of the hour. I even used the Automatic Exposure Bracketing feature so that I could quickly get different exposures. I think this one is the best of the bunch.
