a dark place to watch
Tree Farm outbuildingOn January 20, 2019 I was invited to watch the Lunar Eclipse at Walters Tree Farm, about nine miles East of the City of Nacogdoches. I was there after sunset and was ready to shoot in a dark place behind the out building.
I shot a pic before the eclipse to show a pine tree and some oak trees. I started shooting with the stages of the eclipse and it was hit or miss with the pics that I show here. I got some halfway eclipse shots and a mostly eclipse pic using my inexpensive Walmart tripod.
This took a few hours, and by time of totality the moon was directly overhead; making my tripod useless. I used my zoom and free-handed some three second exposures of pics of totality. You'all know that we do not have three moons. That effect was cuz I could not hold camera completely still on a three second exposure free handed.
It was getting late and I did not stay to shoot the moon coming back out.
note: On April 8, 2024 there will be a total eclipse of the sun crossing through East Texas, I think including Cherokee County. I
will be there.
