ABOUT THIS BLOG
Every day, the weather gods and the photography angels willing, a new photograph will be posted here. Some will be from my archive of nature photographs, taken both from our cabin on the shore of Lake Superior in Upper Michigan and in the garden of Three Crowns Park in Evanston, Illinois. From time to time I'll sneak in a shot or two taken while indulging in other passions.
MY BOOKS ARE AVAILABLE AS EBOOKS AND PAPERBACKS ON AMAZON.COM

This is great - i haven't tried these kind of shots yet. Looks great on this black background too in your blog :)
Moons must be in the air as I uploaded something similar in my blog today! LOL

Getting moon shots is tricky. Urban air pollution often obscures good lunar photography. Fortunately, the night of the eclipse, the atmosphere above the Chicago area was "severe clear."
Even using the spot meter couldn't give accurate exposure readings, so I had to use almost every shutter speed and f/stop combination there was on my camera. I got lucky with this one.
