NIKON D200

f 16
1000 mm

toby, jarrett and i headed out this evening to get some shots of the lunar eclipse.
it was cloudy, freezing (probably 55; i had to wear a fleece) and super windy.
not a good combination for shooting the moon (windy = fuzzy images.)
it cleared up a bit and stopped blowing soon after i got back home which is when i took this (uncropped) shot.

Nice capture...but really 55 is freezing? I went out last night to look at the eclipse but the sub 20 degree temp with wind blew me back inside after only a couple of quick shots. I would have loved even 40 degrees for a longer stay.

Freezing is at 32*F not 55*F... :)

55? It was -20 here in Chicago with the wind chill the other night. 55 degrees is thong weather!!!
Awesome pic by the way.

WOW. I'm pretty sure this is by far the best shot I've seen of the eclipse. Great job!

Superb photo! Worth your efforts (and 55 is not cold)!
