Thanks Philippe, This was taken during the total lunar eclipse in December 2010. The weather forecast was for intense storms across the entire West Coast of the U.S., so I had to drive 2000 miles round trip to reach Tucson, Arizona, the closest place where I could be confident in reasonably clear shooting weather.
FYI in case you want to capture it Philippe Sainte-Laudy , the next lunar eclipse is tomorrow night: Total Lunar Eclipse Tomorrow Night April 14/15, 2014 Depending upon where you live on the planet, a lunar eclipse will occur starting either late April 14 or in the early morning hours of April 15. NASA provides the times in Universal TIme (UT): http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/OH/OH2014.html#LE2014Apr15T
For viewers in North America, here's the approximate timing for viewers on the West Coast (PDT time zone):
10:58pm (Mon) partial lunar eclipse begins 12:07am (Tues) total lunar eclipse begins 12:47am (Tues) maximum lunar eclipse 1:25am (Tues) total lunar eclipse ends 2:33am (Tues) partial lunar eclipse ends
G+ Photowalk May 4-7: Yosemite National Park - A World Heritage Site, one of the world's most incredible landscapes - Lunar rainbows ("moonbows") - waterfalls at peak flow - dogwood trees blooming by the Merced River - Spring wildflowers - reflections in Spring pools & the Merced River - full moon night landscapes The second photowalk in my series this Spring, again coinciding with the full moon to maximize shooting opportunities, will be to Yosemite National Park. This is one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world, and with lunar rainbows and night, full waterfalls, and wildflowers and trees blooming, this is arguably the best weekend of the year to visit. Feel free to RSVP or ask questions here, or for more information in a post which won't get buried, I've set up a post under a new Yosemite page at this link, where I'll maintain all the latest logistical details: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/116372553458318494396/116372553458318494396/posts/ct...
Limited Time Offer For the next 2 weeks, the light of the setting sun will backlight Horsetail Falls just before sunset... if the waterfall is flowing and if clouds don't block the sun! I just cancelled reservations for 2 rooms at the Yosemite Lodge for Feb 24-26 Weekend. I'll still be going, but I decided to camp instead. Come on up and shoot Yosemite in the Winter! https://picasaweb.google.com/107459220492917008623/MyTravels20062009#5293901653794383122 #plusphotoextract
Valley of Fire I've added a lot of Valley of Fire photos to further illustrate some of the types of opportunities available during the G+/Panoramio Photowalk April 5-8 in the Las Vegas Area .
