The different phases of last night’s lunar eclipse. This is 5 shots combined in Photoshop afterwards with very little editing.
It was amazing watching it live, the colour was amazing and we were lucky to have a very clear sky for the whole night.

A blood red moon
Hangs in the night sky,
A rare sight
Precious few have seen
The blood moon from earlier this evening. I’d been looking forward to the eclipse all evening but was a bit worried for a while as it was quite overcast but luckily it cleared up enough to see it and for me to take some photos.
Apparently it’s quite a rare occurrence and I couldn’t help thinking afterwards about how relatively few people have seen it across the centuries and what they must have made of it. It must have been quite startling for people from less advanced cultures to witness. But captivating as well. The kind of thing you can easily imagine might have created stories and myths over time.
