Last night there was a lunar eclipse. It was very cool.
3Last night I was chatting briefly with @jkawaguchi letting her know that her coffee was about to arrive and she let me know there was a lunar eclipse happening. I’m in the DC area and we’ve had a lot of storms recently. I went outside and there was a lot of cloud cover but tried to get a picture with my phone. It sucked. 
So, I grabbed my big boy camera and tried again… forgetting that I didn’t remember how to use it in the dark. Heh. It took a moment for a break in the clouds to occur and I randomly adjusted settings hoping to get a good shot. And then I stopped and enjoyed the moment. Eclipses are kinda cool

I had it marked on my calendar but unfortunately it was totally overcast here so it was a no-go…
Nice pics BTW
@chienfou My camera body/lens combo was pretty much built for softball and not moon shots
And I had to take those all handheld. A tripod would have likely helped a bit 
@capnjb
Evidently your telephoto has a pretty wide aperture. Good glass makes all the difference
