The eclipse

On Monday, December 20th I shot a wedding all day, and when I got home I was extremely tired. I had forgotten that there was going to be an eclipse that night until all my friends on Facebook started posting pictures every other minute. Still, I was too exhausted to go out in the yard and witness this wondrous event. But Pat pestered me endlessly! Finally I agreed to go outside at about 1:30am, and since I had a bunch of cameras within arm's reach I grabbed one on the way out. I'm glad I did. The moon looked incredible! I snapped off a few frames (which isn't easy when your eyes are so bleary you can't see straight, your arms feel like noodles, and your lower back is screaming -- basically how I feel after every wedding!). For you photography buffs: Nikon D700, 80-200 f:2.8 @ f:3.5, 1/100 of a second, ASA 6400, manually focused and handheld. Oh and cropped quite a lot.
