Blood Moon with Blood-Gum Tree

On 09/08/2025 03:51 am by Marco Nero | Website | Sydney, Australia

I had just crawled out of hospital take this photograph and was standing on a driveway with a stent wire hanging out of my body plus a drainage tube (catheter) dragging on the ground as I took this picture. The sky was clear but then clouds appeared and covered the moon in just a few minutes. I was in considerable physical pain but had been planning to use larger lenses to capture this eclipse before I had my medical emergency. Was glad to catch it though it seemed dimmer than past events, probably because of the light pollution around me. Usually I'd drive to a clear dark-sky location to witness a lunar eclipse.

Canon EOS M6 mirrorless camera + EF-M 32mm f/1.4 STM lens.

Minor noise reduction and color balance correction. Tungsten WB used.
