For those of you that didn't get up early to watch the Lunar Eclipse, here's a few pictures of the eclipse'd moon setting over Colorado Rockies.

This is an amazing moon picture with a stunning setting. Thank you for the beautiful photo! Did you take it yourself?

Thanks for the compliment - yes, that was my picture/time-lapse sequence (on the web page).

My picture is definately not as good as alek's... (new camera and I haven't read the manual yet... :eek:)... but I think it's ok for a first attempt at something like this...

Ahh, yes, the famous "Balancing Moon on Wire" shot. If you proceed forward, you will see the moon roll down the wire, towards the antenna. :)

It's a neat shot. Did you aim to capture it so, or did the moon just find itself on the power line as you were taking the picture?

I was just trying to get the moon between the wires... lucked out that it turned out the way it did. I told my husband that all I want for Christmas is more zoom for my camera... :santa:
