So, I decided to watch the lunar eclipse on Wednesday night. I used my Casio Exilim EX-277, a 6in. tripod, and my car to take pictures. So, while I stood out in my driveway looking like an idiot for several hours I did get some pictures. The pictures aren’t great, but it was fun to watch (I rarely get a chance to watch lunar eclipses).
First Problem: Lots of clouds and light pollution. We do indeed have sodium lights around the neighborhood. This was taken with night settings at 9:30PM.
White balancing made it look a little better, but my camera does not have cloud balancing.
As the night went on it did clear up a bit. These pictures are of the moon coming out of the shadow around 11:30PM and the only thing I can blame the bad images on are the camera and my skills.
I took some film pictures, but I haven’t had them developed yet. I’m glad the clouds broke for you. Here it was awesome to see!
