Total Lunar Eclipse (2011-12-10, at Hong Kong)

(Copyright, RiceHigh 2011. All Rights Reserved.)

This series of photos were taken by me in the late evening of December 10th at Hong Kong, for the Total Lunar Eclipse that took place for about 3 hours for the whole course. Full album here:-

EXIF data are preserved. If you're interested in the shooting settings and other details, just have a look at them and go figure it out for yourself. :-) Live View and MF Assist were used for most of the shots.

Below was the gear I used, i.e., my Pentax K-r with a F*300/4.5 with or without a Kenko TelePlus Pro 300 (KAF2) 3X convertor:-

Very nice Michael!

I was comparing the NEX-5N sensor to the K-r (and my K-x) and is seems nearly two stops better.

I am hoping that the K-r successor will have that capability.

Unfortunately I missed these shots. A lovely clear night in HK.

Thanks Fred. :-)

Yep, that night was exceptional clear for the sky. But the weather is cold and windy, I stayed two hours outdoor for these shots! :-|
