The coolest thing for me is when the moon moves into the umbra, you’re effectively getting the reds from every sunrise and sunset simultaneously being bent by the atmosphere toward the lunar surface.

These aren’t the greatest shots you’ll see but I’m pretty OK with them being somewhat noisy considering that I was sitting in a deck chair and handholding the D810 which had the 200-500 f/5.6 lens fitted with a 2x teleconverter and shooting manual focus when I could hardly see the moon through the viewfinder.

Yes, campers…there are shots here that are effectively 1000mm focal length! Enjoy! 🙂
