just wonderin... what kind of equipment would be required to click photographs of the Lunar Eclipse...? Tomorrow is the total lunar ecplipse and it will be visible in western Asia... fortunately the lunar eclipse can be viewed safely unlike the solar one... but not sure if i will get to see it from my building's terrace.... hmmm maybe I'll check on that... would love to see the copper red shade on the moon.... how i wish i had the professional equipment to click photographs...!!!

hi pooja
lunar eclipses are simple, if you have a manual camera, just get the widest lens possible or if you have a fixed lens go as wide as possible, put the camera on a tripod and frame the moon in such a way that its to the extreme left of the viewfinder when you start. open
the aperture as much as possible because its going to be dark, but only so much that it is perfect sync with the shutter speed.
basically, the aperture can be open for longer and shutter speed should be shorter and not the other way around, because its going to
be dark when you shoot. uske baad once the set up is ready, go trigger happy, when you've framed the moon on the left of the viewfinder,
youll get all its aspects as the eclipse is happening. ideally you shouldve done a test run of the moon's positioning today, at precisely
the time of the eclipse tomorrow. nevertheless, just tinker with the shutter speed and aperture tomorrow when its dark, before you shoot
the eclipse. if youre shooting digital, its pretty much the same except i dont know if you can manually set the aperture control and
shutter speed.
hope this has helped

hey Pooja, this should not be a surprise to you, but let me also be one to say that your writing is very inspirational; and of course your work too. Keep up the good work, Cheers!!!
