Blood Moon
Earlier, I took some photos of the total lunar eclipse in the balcony. I don't even remember when the last eclipse was seen here in Asia, but I'm glad this finally came back and can be seen here.
I haven't shot the moon before although I had an idea how shooting stars usually go. A tripod, camera remote, and a zoom lens are the best way to do it.
I did a bit of research for the moon and apparently you don't really need a long exposure setting for it. But of course an eclipse a different scenario which I'm glad I also was able to adjust to.
I started taking test shots of the moon around 11:35 pm during the penumbral eclipse. It had already started dimming at 11:27 pm but I started late because I forgot the time it's supposed to go and I thought it would start later at 11:50 pm. :p
It took me some time to find the right camera and tripod settings since this is my first time shooting the moon. I had to be creative with the tripod since the moon is right above me and my tripod has a limited angle rotation.
After 12 minutes, you can see the shadow on top better. Partial eclipse begins at 12:27 am.
The partial eclipse has begun.
Unfortunately, the clouds had started covering the moon. They can sense fear, so they start appearing when you needed them to NOT be there.
I can see the clouds being so thick and wide that I figured it would take quite some time to clear again.
I checked in every 20 minutes and to no luck.
Finally, the moon showed up again! I quickly took some photos while I can cos I can still see thick clouds surrounding it lol. It's crazy to think that that's our earth's shadow right there.
Full eclipse begins at 1:30 am so we're almost there.
I raised the exposure a bit and was surprised to see the red already showing up which I couldn't see at a lower exposure.
The totality has begun. I love the little highlights on the edges. It gives a really nice gradient of orange.
The maximum eclipse is at 2:12 am. The moon is so red and so beautiful.
The moon literally showed up for about 5 minutes before being covered by the clouds again. The totality lasted until 2:53 am so for others who were so lucky to get a clear sky, they were able to enjoy it much longer.
The shadow was almost gone here although I think what you're seeing at the bottom might be clouds instead. This was the last time the moon showed up again for me.
Here are all the shots I took for this year's Blood Moon. ❤️ 🖤
I'm glad that I was able to capture it successfully even though there were some hiccups along the way. It definitely wasn't easy but now that I learned to do it, I'm excited for another total lunar eclipse which will happen next year and will be visible here as well.
Hopefully it will be the other side of the moon as well.
Just kidding lol.
How lucky, my friend, beautiful photos of the eclipse. Congratulations. I saw a very similar one last year and it was amazing, the moon literally turns red, it seems surreal. This year in Cuba it wasn't visible, but it could be felt. Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos.
It's so amazing to see it another color. :D
Damn, that's so beautiful! I failed terribly at being out last night to observe this, so I am grateful to see the blood moon through your pics! ❤️
Haha that happens even though we have planned about it days before. I don't even remember seeing my last eclipse before this. :D
I've never seen one. Hopefully I will catch at least one during my stay on this planet lol
Woww, that shots are so good. You really captured the beauty of the blood moon despite the clouds 😮😍
Thank you! Got pretty lucky with the timing too cos they showed me the moon at perfect times lol

Wow! These photos are amazing! You've truly captured something beautiful <3 I love this compilation of the various phases of the eclipse in one image! Great job :)
Thank you! :D
that's a nice capture..
i wasn't able to see the blood moon last night because of heavy in our in my province..😌
That sucks! I assume you meant heavy rain... the clouds that was passing by that time also looked like it was carrying rain haha. Was lucky it didn't
Thanks for sharing this, I been trying hunt it but unsuccessfully and then I went to sleep, at least I get to see that, that's some clear shots too
Did the forecast say you were gonna see it in your area or was it cloudy?
Yep it was meant to be clearly visible but it was cloudish, not great weather, I've been trying to spot it but nothing
Better luck next year!
Is there gonna be an other one next year?
Amazing
!DIY
Awesome shots! I wanted to capture it as well but we had intense fog everywhere. Couldnt see anything. We had full eclipse here.
Ah that sucks! I guess I was still very lucky as it showed up on perfect times despite being covered by clouds 60% of the time.
This is an amazing shot. I haven't seen a blood moon for a very long time. I love the way you captured it up close and it looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Wow! it was nice you were able to take photos of the eclipse and it looks very clear.
Yeah the lenses were also pretty good!
Good shots! In Europe it could be seen but unfortunately cloudy and then I got late, so not possible, hope next year! But I can see your photos and it was amazing!

That's stunning! Better visibility than I could hope for! Thanks for showing us! <3
Thank you! I was pretty happy with the shots and how it showed up on pretty good times.
it's a nice shot, wow! what a wonderful creation of God. Thank you for sharing your photos😊
Thank you!
Excellent shots, great work, and thank you for showing us these spectacular photos.
Thank you!
The moon is so mystical😓 I love your photoss. These are perfect shots to show the sequence of the eclipse. Amidst having trouble to the clouds, you still waited patiently and it gave you beautiful shots. Very perfect.
Yeah I really had to pay attention when to come back and check again since it doesn’t happen a lot. Sometimes too when an eclipse happens it is not visible in my country lol so have to savour the moment🤣
Superb! It's so beautiful. How I wish I see it at night. But it's like I already see it because of these photos you shared.❤️
Thank you :D
It's such a shame that we couldn't see the eclipse in America, but your photographs of it are so amazing that it's almost like we're living the moment. Thanks a lot for sharing so special wonder of nature
It says next year’s eclipse will be visible in North America so better prepare :D
Wow! I have never seen a red moon before, in fact, I have never witnessed an eclipse before, I wonder how the world felt, was it in total darkness, or something else? This must be an unforgettable and memorable day for all those present at that time.
I especially admire the way you took records of each shot with keen details in each capture.
This is uniquely beautiful. Thanks for sharing. @hiddenblade
My warm regards 😊
It’s amazing to see in person. Someday you’ll see it too. :D I live in the city and there were lights from the neighbors but it was noticeably darker when it went full totality. The birds also started making noises for some reason which was not common at night. I guess they sensed it too.
Wow! It looks like you were all in a life movie.
It must be really scary for some people and their kids but interesting as well. And yes, the birds definitely sensed it too.
Thanks for the clarification. Wishing you a beautiful Tuesday ahead.😊
wow! its a very nice shot and you have so much patience, thanks for sharing what looks like the blood moon 😍🫶🏻
Oh my God this is awesome!
It'd be an unforgettable experience for me.
Nice shots, thanks for sharing this experience with us.
