Total Lunar Eclipse




Total Lunar Eclipse, originally uploaded by jetrotz.

As seen from our front yard in Grant Park, Atlanta GA. Shot (and cropped in dramatically) at 200mm leaning against my front stoop, flat on my belly ;-) . Sam seems to have absconded with my GorillaPod, so I had to make do. Thank the photographic overlords for the full-frame goodness of the Canon 5D, otherwise this would look more like a bunch of dots than the moon.

    Joey, that is fantastic! I tried and tried to get a picture but just don’t have a good enough camera. I swear this looks like something from CNN… maybe you need to pursue a different career? :) Our 8 year old Canon just died (very unceremoniously) so we’re in the market for a new camera. Think we look @ the Canon 5D?

    Thanks, Dawn. You probably didn’t know, but I was a photojournalist for around 10 years – so I did pursue that career for a good long while! If you have bug badly, like I still do, the 5D is a great camera for the money. The full-frame sensor is spectacular, and is a welcome change from dealing with the 1.4X cropping factor for years on other smaller sensor cameras. It really brings back the beauty of shallow depth-of-field I’ve missed, and the images are high enough resolution to be useful for years to come. Great to hear from you!
