This was my first attempt to capture the Eclipse of the moon. The Total Lunar Eclipse on December 10, 2011 will be visible in its entirety from where I was in Sabah, Malaysia. These were pictures taken from the front yard of my home using a Nikon D7000 and Tokina AT-X 340 AF-II 100-300 F4 which translates to 160-450mm on a DX camera. The sky was clear with patches of low altitude but fast moving clouds and steady westerly winds.
A quarter eclipse - exposure taken from the bright part of the moon at 8.52pm.
Half eclipse - Exposure taken from the bright part of the moon at 9.24pm
Half Eclipse - Exposure taken from the darkened part of the moon at 9.21pm
Full Eclipse with the darkened moon with a reddish glow at 10.30pm.
