Total eclipse of the heart

Lunar Eclipse, originally uploaded by stevevoght.

Despite scary-sounding weather forecasts, the skies parted and provided us with a beautiful show last night for a total lunar eclipse during the early evening hours.

This was a good chance to try taking some long exposures with my tripod, and although the pesky white balance settings on the camera caused more than a few shots to lose their reddish tint, that's what post-processing is for! Click the image above to go to the Flickr gallery where there are several more shots of the eclipse.

Also, there is much plotting afoot as I've been spending time putting pictures up at Flickr, thus the lack of new posts lately. There are many new and exciting things that will be shown in the near future! (Or if you're tricky, you can probably already find a lot of them over there...)
