I took a few pics of the lunar eclipse tonight. Just my Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2 and a tripod. Never tried taking night time pics before, but I think I'll have a little better idea of the technique next time...there's...a lunar eclipse. Anyway, you can get an idea of the color. (In the extended entry.)
Thanks! No, I think that might have been part of the problem. While I had a nice stable tripod, I probably should have set the timer, too, so that every last vibration was out before the shutter opened.
Oh man - that was beautiful. When it was full and only the crescent of brilliant silver-white "earthglow" remained, it was just magic.
Friends from all over the country were looking too, in different timezones - in Israel though one my friends had just gotten off work, at dawn, and the moon had already set.
Still it was fun to think of people spanning the globe, all delighted by this glorious sight.

Great shots! Did you use a remote?

Nice!
My stepdaughter and I tried for quite a while to get decent shots, without success. (We didn't have a tripod available.)
