Lunar Eclipse over Oamaru

[kiwiapple]

I had not expected to be able to see the lunar eclipse last week--the weather forecast called for cloud until suddenly that changed on the morning of the event--so I was a bit unprepared, but I managed to get myself situated on a favourable spot as the moon was set to rise. Unfortunately, there was a bit of low cloud that obscured the moon as it rose above the horizon, so it was only visible after it reached about 10 degrees or so.

I like the boats as a foreground to give the scene a sense of scale. Nice capture.

Hey James!

It's been a while, seeing your posts this morning put a smile on my face!

That's awesome that the weather changed for you and you got to see it. I really like your last minute thinking on how to compose this, it worked out really well.
