Blood moon

After going out for a very pleasant Italian meal with friends at Il Colosseo in Farnborough last night, we came back to our place and popped outside to view the eclipse. I took this shot using my tripod and the long end of my 55-200mm lens on a 1.3sec exposure… quite a nice result, I think.

    That’s really sharp! How did you stop the shutter from shaking the camera?

    Well I could have locked the mirror up… but I didn’t think of that… so the answer is “luck”.
