Fabulous, Sherry! Much nicer than what my camera would have captured. Thank you for sharing!

Hugs and butterflies,

Thank you! Love that red light at totality, very cool. (is it reflected earthlight?)

I read somewhere recently that the red light doesn't start out red, but looks red to us because we see it through the filter of our blue sky. Not sure what color + blue = red, though.

Excellent pix--thanks for sharing!

Partly, but mostly because the longer red wavelengths of sunlight pass through our atmosphere (and smoke/water vapor/pollution)around the edges of the Earth, and on to the moon during a lunar eclipse, while the shorter blue wavelengths are scattered throughout our atmosphere (essentially the same reason sunsets are reddish).

Just in case you might want to delete your photos, that signature doesn't really protect any copyright infringement issues especially on such a generic image.

The moon didn't look red here, it was a dull brown, thanks to all of our light pollution!!!

Awsome pics. The clarity is startling

I like videoing lightning. Chased a really good storm last year and got some great footage of the lightning. Played it back on the video frame by frame. Had hoped to run it through the PC so I could freeze frame some of the better ones to make still photos with - and can't find the video for the life of me Unfortunately I taped over the original.

I'd like to do this with a camera rather than a camcorder. Anyone recommend the best type of camera for doing this?

I like to do that with my old film camera. Unfortunately it's inop right now
Any camera that lets you choose the shutter speed will do fine. Try experimenting with different (slow) speeds and short time exposures.
