Early evening shot. The first thing I did was set a negative EV, trying to adjust the metering for the bright subject.

At my location, approximately 20 miles due East of downtown Omaha, NE, the eclipse started about 1:00 am CDT. Clear and cold (upper 20s) with no wind. Camera was set up in my driveway. This photo was taken at 1:16 am.

Changed my len before subsequent shots. Wanted to get a close as my equipment would allow. Caught this photo as the eclipse nears totality and the moon starts turning red. 1:57am

The "money" shot of the shoot. You can understand why its called a "Blood Moon". This shot required changes to my procedure. I switched to "live" mode to get a good focus. Fortunately, I had time to go into the house to process earlier photos and realized I had a focus problem.

On the way back to the full moon, I was having problems with artifacts - see above. There was no detail in the moon like I was hoping to see. It was now 4:00 am.

Some more experimenting, I was able to get some detail into the moon before the eclipse was finished. 4:25 am

A final shot of the moon as I head out for coffee at 5:40 am. This one was taken hand-held.

While it was a long time in the cold (between breaks inside the garage and house) it was a productive shoot. I learned a lot about my Canon 60D camera and "shooting the moon". These photos will not be available for sale. At a later date, I will post information of any that may be for sale.
