Blood Moon

Way off my normal topics but...

Had to go out and have a little play with the camera tonight and try to capture the Blood Moon.  I'm no photographer but I hope Bob approves...

    1. It's a Nikon Coolpix. The 42x zoom is not bad eh?

    1. I was a little lucky - a lot of NZ was clouded over too. Palmy got lucky...

    1. Thanks Bob. Yeah, I like my little camera - it does most things pretty well on it's pre-set settings - a good thing as I'm not a camera expert at all.

  6. Andrew - those are incredible photos ... we had fog, cloud and I had no desire to get up at 3ish am. Glad you did and I didn't have to miss it. Are you up for the next one?

    1. When's the next one? To be honest I never new anything about the Blood Moon until I saw an article on TV about this one...
