Super Blood Moon

Super Blood Moon

Tonight was a very rare event. A Super Blood Moon occurred plus a lunar eclipse. I took my break to go out and take a bunch of photos. I had a tough time getting the moon to be in focus. It was really high in the sky, much higher than the moon was last night. It also seemed to be moving pretty fast over the course of the hour. I was there for the whole full eclipse. The moon went to a really deep, dark red. I took as many as I could and adjusted the focus, the aperture, the amount of time it took for the shutter to release and more. I used the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus to use as a remote bluetooth shutter.

I would have liked to have gotten more time before and after the eclipse to do more shooting. I could have gotten a whole before and after series if I had more time.
