On August 28th 2007, we were lucky enough to witness a rare lunar eclipse where the moon turned red.
Some workmates and I went on a night trek in Gadigal National Park and had a little champagne picnic (just a little... we still needed to find our way out of the forest afterwards). I took my camera and tripod along to try my luck with night photography.
Here is one of the 120-odd photos that worked out pretty well. Don't ask about the 200+ that I've already deleted... I still have a LONG way to go in regards to learning how to use the basic features of my camera. The next lunar eclipse will be in 2011. I'd like to learn how to turn off continuous auto-focus by then. And to also be able to take time lapse photos.
More photos can be seen in my flickr Lunar Eclipse photo set.
