Like a lot of people, I tried to take photos of the moon on the 31st Jan 2018 for the Super Blue Blood Moon.

Here is one of my test shot… at around 7:40pm (Perth time).  It is summer here in Australia so it was still pretty bright at 7pm… with sunset around 7:19pm that night.

As soon as it got dark, you can already see the eclipse starting…

I used two cameras that night.  A Canon EOS 7D MkII with Canon 70-300mm L lens and a Canon Powershot G3X (with 24-600mm lens).  The images you see here were mostly  from the 7D.  I was hoping the 600mm on the G3X will give me a better result but there were lots more detail on the 7D.  All the images (from both cameras) were cropped.

As moon gets darker, I had to adjust the exposure (and bump the ISO a bit). I didn’t wait for the full cycle of the eclipse to end coz there were too many mozzies out that night.

Thanks 🙂
