We have had a couple of blood moons recently. The first, I didn't even attempt to photograph, the second, I took my gear up the hill but it was murkey and hazy, and I was feeling lazy.
So when this one came around, I wasn't even going to bother, but I was in the kitchen and my husband came in the front door, all 'quickly have a look at the moon!' so I went out, and realised, you know what? I could shoot that from my driveway - no climbing, no shoes, not much hassle, just tripod up, camera on, point, shoot, bang you're done.
So that's what I did.
Admittedly, it's not a great blood moon shot. Heck, it's not even a good one! But it's a good first attempt, and much better than I was expecting, given the light all around. And not having the correct lens. I believe I shot this with my 18-200mm in the end (set at 200mm) which doesn't give the greatest focus but at least its zoomed as close as I possibly could.
