So last night I went up north to take some pictures of the super blood moon and my god was it cold!  While I got better image quality than in the city, it was so damn windy I could see the vibrations in my viewfinder so it was actually quite tricky to take good pictures.  I also screwed up, I should have turned off my lens’ auto focus once I got good focus my first time around but I kept it on and lost focus once the eclipse occurred because it was too dark. 🙁  Sigh learn for next time I guess, it worked out ok but could have been better.

Since it was so damn cold out I didn’t notice that my lens also zoomed out a bit so the first few pictures were at 400mm, while the eclipse was at ~345mm, that and my Cameron T210PH tripod kind of froze so it was quite difficult to get the moon in frame.

LOL took a pic of my setup with the Canon SL2, I tried using the crop body on the lens setup but I found the image quality was quite poor for some reason.  Need to do some further testing to figure it out.  Anyway I returned home around 1am and was beat so I decided to work from home today. 🙂
