HDR composite photo of the lunar eclipse this morning from western Virginia. This is the shot I've been looking forward to for years, and it came out like everything I hoped it would!
I went to Shenandoah National Park at 3am and set up for the eclipse with three cameras + a star tracker. I was able to snap several hundred shots as the eclipse developed under clear night skies. There was a small batch of clouds around 5am when I snapped this shot, and I think they added a remarkable amount of texture to the scene overall.
This kind of shot is highly technical and quite challenging to pull off. I have plenty of shots on this page that show what it looked like to the naked eye, but this is designed to show *more* detail and depth than the human eye can see (otherwise known as dynamic range). This is a composite of two different frames, one exposed for the dark/shadow side of the moon and one exposed for the bright side. They are combined in post-processing to give the HDR look.
It was an amazing morning! The planning paid off, and now I'll look forward to the next lunar eclipse in 2025.
