Hey guys - I was out freezing my butt off taking some pics of the eclipse tonight and decided to share with you. Lucky me, a huge sheet of clouds came up close to the full eclipse, so I didn't get any of them, but my boyfriend in Texas took some great ones and will be posting after mine at some point, so check back in a few hours if you want to see more pics. :-)

Nice... I completely forgot about it, even so I think it's cloudy outside. :(

fuji s7000. if i had a better tripod setup I could have gotten better focus, but i was using one of those 'mini' 7" tripods on my back porch cuz i can't find my full sized one since i moved, and i had to set it up at a weird angle to get the moon :( so it was kind of wiggly. hehe.

Nice - we just saw it when taking the doggies for a walk. Didn't even think about grabbing my camera :trout:. Wasn't red but still pretty cool. :thumb:

Nice pictures Gina. I watched some of it through my bedroom window (i had a clear view of the moon right from it), but it was very cloudy and I basically only saw what you saw.

I too didn't know this was supposed to occur. How strange that such a thing would occur right before Halloween and it gets capped off with a bloodmoon. This won't happen again until was... 2007 or something like that? I wonder if then it will be near Halloween again.

I was up at 5.10 to see the last phase of the total eclipse. Of course the clouds decided to give me a hard time.. couldn't see squat :(

Btw that was when I was walking to the bus :sure: Yeah I'm up kinda early :)

Looks nice! (notice how I said it as if I was commenting on your photoshopping of the moon:P)
I knew it was going to happen but I couldn't be bothered staying up for it. Way too tired.

huh? are you implying that they were photoshopped? because i assure you those are pure unadultered shots straight from the digicam. minus the fact of course that there wasn't 20 or so moons in the sky - haha, that much is edited ;-)
but seriously - the moon was just that cool lookin tonight!

Nice pics. We got a good view of it from our place. No clouds, and plenty warm.

Hmmm, an eclipse during the final game of the world series? Maybe that had something to do with Boston winning. Whatever works!

I watched the whole thing. I never miss an eclipse. There is just something cool about it. It's different, a change.
