I was looking for the red Moon.... (pics)

Post by cyprusmax47 »

It was very unlucky these big clouds in Cyprus, hiding the Lunar eclipse from my camera....so I tried to get some photos the next day (without eclipse) as the moon is still very large ...

It was the next day when sunrise and moonset happened at the same time.... so here is the sun
Image

and in the back of my house at the same moment: the moon in a big hurry to set within a few minutes..
Image

maximum zoom...
Image

red clouds where the moon suppose to set, I wonder if the moon will be red then..
Image

but unfortunately there appeared clouds in front of the sun
Image

and the red clouds disappeared.
Image

Image

except the electric wires a nice motive
Image

and finally just seconds before the moon reached the horizon to disappear

I forgot to post a pic from my night images photographing the moon towards Troodos. It is extremely difficult to get the camera setting right in order to get a photo with not too blurred street lights but in the same moment be able to see contours of a foreground and the mountains...

This is one of 60 pics I did 5.30 AM on the 21.1.19. which was relatively OK for me,the little dot in the center of the photo are Mt.Olympos lights
