Artist's Comments

sooooo in the week of the 27th, we had a full lunar eclipse that was viewed by the entire northern hemisphere.

So i went out and took pictures. Unfortunately, i couldn't take pictures in equidistant time frames, because i had homework to do and i was also watching the Red Sox win the World Series.

So, i took about 50 pictures, and this is a homage collage that i did. I tried a bunch of layouts, and i like this one the best.
I did not use a telescope for this.

I used a camera with a 300mm lens. Since the camera is digital, it translates to a 450mm lens in the 35mm system (because the image sensor of digital is smaller than a 35mm negative)

I set up the tripod, and then used a remote cable release so that my finger pressing on the shutter didnt move the lens. Even with that, a lot of pictures were blurred or had a ghost image. These are the best of the bunch.

Make sure to leave a thought or two :)

EDIT: Print available and second moon on top row fixed, thanks to * eclectic-fusion for pointing it out. I always miss out some mundane detail =P

This is the internet. If you don't like something that is said to you or someone else, do us all a favor and ignore it. If you fail to ignore it, then get over it as quick as possible. Drama is unneeded on the internet.

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people
will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

WOW I love the layout in this :clap::clap::clap: The images are great!! But the layout of them is what really makes this stand out and look really clean and professional :) i really love the bottom row of moons the most. It almost seems as if they're set-up on curves. Know what I mean? They kinda curl around each other. (well not like fully around each other...but I think you get what I mean hehe. I just think the second moon on the top should be rotated a bit to match the rest. It somewhat throws off the balance and distracts your eyes. Great job :clap:
