penumbra
I decided to put my insomnia to good use the other night by staying up to watch the lunar eclipse on the morning of 28 August. Apparently we here on the west coast were particularly well suited for viewing this eclipse. I made do by standing on a corner down the street from my house and setting up my tripod in the middle of the road. After about an hour I managed to get a few keepers.
On a whim I sent one of the pictures to our local alternative weekly and it got published in their “Blogtown” online-only segment of the paper. You can see it here.
That’s a nice picture V. Lucky you didn’t get run over by some stray drunk. Or cab driver.
Sweet! I didn’t get nearly so good a view as that.
Thanks, Michelle. I hear those Stumptown cab drivers are a force to be reckoned with.
Dave2, I was lucky it was so clear that night. It really was something to see, even if it meant standing outside in the street for hour.
