Luna Oscura
Feb. 22nd, 2008 12:10 amOver the weekend, I splurged on a new digital camera to replace the one that died on me right before the holidays. I upgraded to a Panasonic Lumix, which comes with 18x optical zoom and a raft of other shiny features.
Since then, I've been seeking out the kinds of difficult shots that my old camera invariably failed to capture: nighttime scenes, faraway mountains, people in motion, etc.
Wednesday night presented a particularly irresistible challenge, in the form of a lunar eclipse. I spent about a half an hour leaning back against a wall, struggling to keep my hands steady and focus on that slowly reddening hunk of rock up there. Here's what I managed to catch:
( the poxyclipse )
It's still not quite what my eyes saw, but it's amazingly close.
