work downtown, live up in Oak Grove (Malden / Melrose line)

I could use the lens downtown next week, and return just 1-2 hrs later.

OK, I will come in to Boston and meet up with you. Where and when!

There is a full lunar eclipse happening on the night of December 21/22 of this year.

These are a couple of my previous attempts from February 2008 full lunar eclipse:

IMAGE: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5287/5247113151_1eaf0ef565_z.jpg
ExposureTime - 2 seconds
FNumber - 5.60
ExposureProgram - Shutter priority
ISOSpeedRatings - 200
FocalLength - 260 mm

IMAGE: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2003/2281181742_68a8093c5d_o.jpg
ExposureTime - 1/400 seconds
FNumber - 5
ExposureProgram - Shutter priority
ISOSpeedRatings - 200
FocalLength - 190 mm


I used a tripod mounted Canon 40D with Canon 70-300mm lens for these images. I just noticed my mistake in the first image - 2sec exposure. That would certainly explain the poor quality.

I am wondering if any members are planning on any shooting of the eclipse. If so, what are the preperations like and if there are any tips they can share. I can think of the usual:

* Far from the city lights
* Clear horizon
* Sturdy tripod
* A decent long reach lens

Any recommended spots for night shooting north of Boston?

Thanks in advance.

That would be great. Looking forward to seeing you! I will PM you when I get a schedule and I will check back after I visit a rental property in tomorrow AM (heating issue, Grrr!).

Was great. We mostly made fun of the fact that you never come out with us.

Fantastic Sirloin and string fries. :)

I never come out?

Whaaaaaaaaat?!?! I am always ready to come out! Just had way too much crap to get done. That and the bloody internet at home went kaput. Switching to Fios on Friday though, hurrah!!

And the only reason I didn't come on the 'copter ride in Nov, was because I was working on my tan down in Oz :)
