Lunar Eclipse

[Yammer77]

There will be a Lunar Eclipse Wednesday Feb 20th around 10:00PM weather permitting.
Anyone have tips on how to capture this.
I have two of them.  Push button, close your eyes and pray.

I took photos of the last one & I was happy how they turned out, it was so cold though!
They aren't as sharp as I hoped, but it was windy & then I took the camera inside the car & used the dashboard for my "tripod"

I used some info from this website:  http://www.mreclipse.com/LEphoto/LEphoto.html

The below attachment is a composit of the "best" of the photos of the phases as the night went on.

So let me get this right, weather permitting there will be a lunar eclipse and if its lousy weather the earth will stay out of sun's way?.  Just teasing. of course that may not be wise of me considering how often I leave myself open.  But then again stupid is as stupid does.    Thats a reference to myself  and I'm just reminding myself that

Wow that is so cool cool and the kind of stuff i hope to learn from joining this club.

And now a formal apology to Anthony, I'm sorry about that wise alack comment. would have been better left alone and I feel bad about it.

[Nick D]

Also, thank you for that info. I was unaware of it

I don't think you need to apologize to Anthony... he has a good sense of humor.  I actually thought it was funny.   

But it's not good to pick on your fellow Oly shooters... because Anthony and I both could use an E-3 and/or a 12-60mm.   

[Nick D]

Oh brother!! at this rate I may lay out more for those 12-60 lenses than Ric is for E-3s.  i thought he had a similar sense of humor as us from the little I know of him, but not knowing him made me feel bad afterwards...  Now if was you..... oh wait i take that back, you'll add a 50-200 next on that bill

You're a quick learner!

You know I just read a few more forum posts and I'm starting to your point Scot. I don't think Anthony will be upset either. it seems dishing it out and taking it are 2 prerequisites to join this club.  Seems almost everyone has that dry,wry, sense of humor.

funny how the eclipse thread has turned into a Oly boys discussion 
men & their "equipment"

I like the wisecrack comments.  No harm no foul....besides you shoot with an E-3 so that gets you a free pass....

guess the ladies need to stick together, we are outnumbered on the forum I think

Well, they say the difference between men & boys is the price of their toys  LOL! (Sorry guys!)

So all I need to do is carry around my American Express bill to prove my manhood?

Just to keep all those Oly people happy....

I received a membership today from a 100% Oly fan and he has a E-3

Oh, and aren't the ladies to be on the Refreshment Committee Anthony?
