Saturday morning Northern California (all of the Pacific Time Zone as a matter of fact) will be in pretty good position to view a total lunar eclipse. The timeline goes a little something like this….
0445 hrs – the eclipse will begin
0605 hrs – start of eclipse totality
0657 hrs – end of eclipse totality
The sun will be starting to rise around 0600 hrs, and should give the whole experience a little extra “Mood Lighting”. I plan on being up early to try and capture a piece of this phenomenon.
I’m not sure exactly how I will shoot the photos. I’m going to try a low ISO, about F8, and a longer than normal exposure. I think I’ll probably use my 75-300 telephoto lens and attempt to get “above” the lights of town. I might even drive a little ways out of town to escape the lights. Of course all of this is subject to change. Things in my head rarely work out as I envision them. Just ask my wife about the wood floor project. I finally got the trim pieces around the doors replaced. And it only took me 8 months!! Progress if you ask me…
Stay tuned
