Did anyone look at my set? Now in the Gallery. I encountered the same problem. The full blood moon looks like motion blur?
CHEERS Vic.

Hi Vic - looking at yours - it would seem the long shutter speed is the culprit. On the two shots before the eclipse, they are nice and sharp and the EXIF gives a fast shutter speed. OTOH the two eclipse shots show that you had a 2.5sec and a 1 sec time; the 1 sec time is blurred but not as much as the 2.5sec one. 'Only' another 3 and a bit years to wait to try it out on the next one

As stated above, a lot of the blur is due to moon movement. My gallery pic of the moon here was shot at ISO 6400 with a 500mm lens. Exposure time was 1/6sec. My main difficulty was maximising sharpness of focus - I used Live view to do it, but it was still a bit hit and miss.

My shots of the 'blood moon' generally came out the right colour, but the camera produced some interesting colours with other night time ones. IIRC the WB was set to Daylight in camera;

And here after pp is probably a bit more what it really looked like colour-wise;

Both from last night - and it is the 'blood moon'. Any thoughts on that?

Anyway I got few keepers. I must say that in my opinion photographs just don't do it justice, it was amazing to watch.

Tend to agree there - but it was fun (and a bit cold) trying!!

Beset by brightness around the core event of the Eclipse. Anyone else have results for this?

Where were you when this picture was taken....
a halo like this is often caused by haze...
either in the immediate vicinity at low level...
or an ice haze high in the atmosphere...
given that many were victims of cloud cover before the eclipse....
this may well have been a forerunner of that.

Or might it have been a touch of condensation on the lens - it was quite cool!

Some new takes on familiar scenes - nice set of 'snaps' Joe!

I think they are all awesome

I agree - excellent stuff. I've found getting the composition right on this blurred water shots is quite tricky as it depends on where the 'white-out' builds up. These are all wonderful compositions IMO

This is a great shot sir!

No 7 appeals to me the most - great composition and the lighting on the sheep makes it for me.

My wife and I got hold of some midge headnets (not mosquito - mesh is too large) for Scotland. You look a bit silly in them, but you don't care about that when the midges are out in force!!
