Blood Moon...


To be more accurate: the Super Blue Blood Moon.  It was cold (44º) and dark when I went out to try for a shot of this event.  My consumer type cameras and no tripod made it a bit of a challenge...


The camera wouldn't focus on the dimly lit moon.  Manual focus, and keep trying...


Closer.  I sat in one of our patio chairs, held my breath, and...


By this point, the moon was starting to drop behind the palm trees to our west.  One last try (and the best crop I could get)...


An hour of wait and watch, and it was interesting to see the changes - time to go in and warm up.
