Lunar Eclipse from New York, a photo from New York, Northeast

Photographer's Note

Yeah! One more lunar eclipse shot from today. My camera isn't great, this is just an amateurish attempt at capturing the eclipse at below freezing temperature! :)
Hope that you'll enjoy this.
I took 4 shots at different stages of the eclipse and put them together in one canvas. The exposures on the four shots shots were different since light was fading. The last one had the longest exposure.

Hello Shaeri,

I have to praise you for professional presentation of your work which you claimed to be amateurish.

The sharpness is brilliant and the phases are very well written in this picture. Thanks for sharing and best regards,
Jusni

Hi Shaeri
You've got my idea!!! :)
I like this shot. Do you have a closer shot?
I was more ambisous and us the full zoom although my camera is not that great.
Anyways, nice compo
cheers

Hi Shaeri

I am impressed. What did you say your work is? Physics?

This is a great work and you thought well to take 4 shots and blend it nicely here. This is great photo editing.

Can I now enrol in your photography class?

TFS, bill

Hi Shaeri,

You are not amateurish in doing this work.
The professional sense is well visible here. I admit, you are one among the most appreciated photographers having sensible images in here.
EXCELLENT image, well executed, dear friend.

Admire the sincere heart in you.

Très belle présentation de cette belle éclipse de lune que les nuages m'ont empêché d'admirer.

Hello Shaeri.

Good work ! I like your presentation and the colors. It is the good way to present this event.
The sharpness is not excellent but it is not easy view to the distance ! ;-)
Regards,

Matt

Hello Shaeri
It is a magnificent idea to have combined these 4 shots .
I find the quality good and it is really the magnificent moment which you makes us share.
Thank you
Diane

marknunnerley (2780) 2008-02-21 4:50

It's a great attempt Shaeri. This simple image of four stages of a lunar eclipse really stands out in the thumbnail. Thats because you have used a bit of creativity and produced four images as one. Very well presented.
Best rfegards

Ciao Shaeri,
interesting sequence of the eclipse.
here in Rome it was cloudy. sin
good job

dlevy23 (2018) 2008-02-21 6:12

Hi Shaeri, this is a great composition of the Eclipse. I love that you put 4 different steps. I looked at the eclipse last night but I wasn't succesful in the past taking picures of the moon so I didn't even try.
I knew there were going to be plenty of photos in TE today!!
Great job like usual!!!

Daniel

AROBN54 (11475) 2008-02-21 6:16

Hi, Shaeri,
this is wonderful! I, too, took, shots at different stages, but yours turned out way nicer. I really like the way you put them all together. By the way? I was able to take shots without even wearing a jacket. Thought you might appreciate that. :)) Just teasing. Take care and thanks,
Shelly

Dyerco (10185) 2008-02-21 7:04

Hi Shaeri
Great shooting. I was going to attempt this myself but we had cloudy conditions so my shots were all grab shots when the clouds parted for a bit.

KLB (23723) 2008-02-21 8:23

Hello Shaeri

What a great composition.
It was a cloudy night this night, so I couldn't have seen this magical sight. Thanks for sharing this rare moment in such a beautiful and original way.

Regards,
Karine

Bluejeans (64251) 2008-02-21 10:49

Ola Shaeri ,
fizeste um belo trabalho em juntar as quatro fotos , ficou muito bonito as fazes do eclipse , parabéns!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

stego (24132) 2008-02-21 14:47

Hi Shaeri,
It sorted out quite well, specially considering the hardware used. It's very interesting, not only documentary wise, but also aesthetically. I forgot completely about it, but I am not that sad because the weather was quite cloudy here.
Regards, José.

Merline (0) 2008-02-21 18:20

Very well done ! This is good, and you've put it together with high quality despite what you're saying. Lovely sight, they announced clouds here...I am glad to see this picture of yours, it is always impressive, many thanks for taking the pains Shaeri!

TFS
Kind regards
Michèle

sagar (2410) 2008-02-21 22:02

Hi Sheri,
A different shot from you. And you have passed the test with flying colors. I remember the diagrams of the eclipse on the geography book that we read in school. It looks pretty similar, except for the fact that this is a photo, not a sketch. Good try, good result.
Regards,
Sagarneel.
PS- Thanks for the mail. I have sent you the reply in the mail thread itself.

JCG (35153) 2008-02-21 22:06

Hi Shaeri,

You had more chance than us on Versailles… Beautiful catches of sights on this event which will return in 2015 and which I will perhaps have the pleasure of photographing too. Thank you for sharing Shaeri.

With all my friendships and with soon,

Jean-Charles

kiwi_explorer (12209) 2008-02-21 23:26

Hi Shaeri,
Being in the cold just to take this photo is a commendable effort itself worth full points :) I heard about this eclipse but missed it. Wonderfully captured and presented time shot. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

zmey (7335) 2008-02-22 5:10

hello shaeri

not a shappy amateur attempt at sky photography. not shabby at all, my friend. looks like an illustration from an astronomy book. i especially like the amber colored stage.

unfortuntely, the sky was not cooperating here last night. but hey, i have you to show me how the eclipse proceeded :)

cheers and TFS

sayan (2617) 2008-02-22 5:50

hello Shaeri,

coming back after a long time. I must admit that despite the limitations of your camera you have managed a really beautiful work. The presentation is great. Very well experimented and well captured.

regards
Sayan

Wandering_Dan (3449) 2008-02-22 6:42

Hi, Shaeri -

This is a nice riff on the classic eclipse exposures taken all on 1 frame - which really only works on a solar eclipse; a lunar eclipse is too slow.

And it's nicely done!

Dan

(We had the eclipse here in SF, too, but it was partly overcast and I have a slight cold, so I missed it. Another reason to appreciate this submission.)

Philippe (11836) 2008-02-22 11:58

Hi, Shaeri. A very good collage showing the different stages of the eclipse. It's amazing to see how different the moon looks at the different stages? I was too lazy to get up to see it and, anyway, I think it was too cloudy here. So thanks for showing us.

pcp (3396) 2008-02-22 13:42

Hello Shaeri,

Awesome.. nice merge and i'm sure.. waiting for long time to capture... you did well what you want to do :) well done.

You've done a great job my friend, and the reward for your dedication is this beautiful composition, very well presented.
Thanks for sharing it and have a great week-end!

Igor

jmdias (116341) 2008-02-22 17:08

shaeri

I think some of the moons are more sharp than others and we can see the shape where you cut the image around the full moon in red, I think a PP could be nice there. Anyway I think I am not able to do an image like this, maybe one day.

hugs

Hi Shaeri,
Beautiful photo where we can follow the different stages of the lunar eclipse very well. I didn't see it, because it was 4 in the morning or so here in NL and I didn't want to get up that early (and I believe it would have been too cloudy anyway here), but I guess it could be seen a better time in the US and you took very well advantage of it. I find the result really impressive, thanks a lot for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

Khamelion (91) 2008-02-23 15:46

I like the four shots together, nicely presented, you get a better appreciation of the eclipse as a whole.

Matthew-Watt (5934) 2008-02-24 15:52

Hi Shaeri,

A complete success! I have seen a few of the eclipse shots on TE these last few days. It was the southern hemisphere's turn to have the eclipse a few months ago, the whole family gathered in the back yard to watch the event. It moved faster than I expected. Not only is your photo visually interesting, it is also historic - in any given place it is rare to see an eclipse. I hope to one day see a solar eclipse! You have done well to capture this from NYC with all the surrounding light pollution. Terrific effort.

Matt

Great work! You were so lucky to see and capture this phenomenon!!! Thank you for sharing! Regards Stella

pboehringer (770) 2008-02-25 12:26

Shaeri,
there is something that I tired and didn't get at all. This looks at least interesting and well succeeded. I guess that it is time to get a better lens. The other thing is more preparation. I came back from work and the eclipse was already fully going on.
Good presentation!
Peter

Angshu (56760) 2008-02-27 0:46

Hello Shaeri
Now, this is something that I haven't tired and don't know whether I will succeed at all. get at all. Well succeeded in your effort...perhaps a longer zoom, a stronger lens. Tricky exposure, the long time coupled with the movement of the moon & the shadow, but admirable effort.
Best Wishes
Angshumanda

danos (110407) 2008-02-27 1:14

broken_nail (190) 2008-03-05 10:10

Hi Shaeri!!!

Really original and really magic your shot!

Great sensation of being thousands and thousands of miles faraway surrounded by "nothing" hearing the "silence", just for ... a while. Fantastic! Thank you.

Enjoy your day!
Best Regards
Gatti Matti

noborders (1010) 2008-03-10 3:18

A great idea, Shaeri, and a beautiful, dreamy composition : I admire, since I feel unable to produce such results...

Waiting for your next one (your little girl in the grass was so cute, will you shoot other New Yorkers ?)

Best regards,
Compliments,
Cath.
