moon---no moon

WOW
Watched all day as the clouds continued overhead
Last moon eclipse for a couple of year so I was a little disapointed
BUT
Learned to take my gear everywhere despite the possible brokenout window and stolen gear.
Headed to clinic to do paperwork and saw a small break in the fast moving clouds.
I bolted towards the derricks here in town(my favorite picture site) but FINALLY made the right decision and stopped at the graveyard just ahead(I usually keep driving to find the perfect shot and end up losing out)


set up 2 cameras )even as the moon was showing thru(you can imagine me fumbling around cords settings tripods etc

especially if you know me(quit laughing KIM and CRAIG))


And walah what a prize for me.
Got this capture-one of those nobody likes it as much as you shots.
Probably all the work and stress that went into it.
I love the subtle color as the light disappeared at full eclipse. It has almost a 3D feel.
Then it went as quick as it came.
Going into my top 10 personals

A cool gallery would be for all my friends to post their favorite 5 pictures(that they have taken)
and let everybody see them.

Anybody game?
