Total lunar eclipse

Pictures taken from 21:30 to 02:30. There is a hole between 00:30 and

01:15, because me and my friend had to eat something. Pizza at the

middle of the night! =p It was disgusting, but anyway...

Very well presented Nina. Of all the eclipse photo's I have seen I like this one the best. Great job, Melissa

Nina! Very beautiful sequences. I was not lucky as you as just before the totality it started to rain till the end of it :) You have done a great job! Regards, Babak

Beatiful and original composition but when I enlarge the photo I see a problem in the phases of partiality. Is a Photoshop elaboration problem?

I don't know exactly what you mean (language problems), but it is definitly not a Photoshop problem. I use Gimp, because I don't have Windows, but Linux.

Nice idea about the composition! But it seems that you have paint the partiality "by hand" over the full moon (when you see the larger photo). Did you have chosen a too low resolution? Or did you have used any kind of filter that gives this effect? What is exactly the way you used to process these images with Gimp?

It can be interesting to see a unmanipulated single shot of partiality.

There was no manipulation, except on those middle two moons. I used blur, because there was simply too much noise. (No painting or anything else > just blur.) It was hard to sharpen the image... moon was too dark.

I think it's a Gimp problem. A my friend said me that sometimes there are problems when Gimp save the images. Under Linux I see perfectly the image but under windows I see the effect that I mentioned in my previous post.

What exactly do you see? Could you tell me in details please?

 

There isn't any computer with Windows I could use right now. =/

I attach an image, hoping that you can see with your screen the image I see.

For example, where the arrows point, it dont't seems natural.

I view this photo with 6 computers (4 windows, 2 linux). Only in one with linux it seems a bit more normal. Can you please post one of the original shots? Thanks!

Great and suggestive composition. Well done

Oh, yes... now I see what you mean... yep, it must be a Gim problem. Here is the original image.

 

I think I know now what I did wrong. I hope it is what I think it is.

I think I have fixed the problem... I mean... I didn't do the same mistake twice... I just pasted the original images over those ones. Here it is.

Dear Nina, your Idea is good but Original photos always are Excellent and beautiful. A question, this photo is a software composition or is realize? please see my lunar eclipse photo. MsK

It would be completely impossible that this photo wouldn't be a software composition. Moon could never travel through the sky this way. So, yes, it is a software composition.

I know that the moon can't move in the sky such it, but it's possible, you could move your camera and take many photos such it but it's really. isn't possible, nina?

I took these photos separately and each time the moon was in the middle of the photo. Then I just cut out the moon from each photo and pasted it on one big black background. (They all had black background, so I didn't have any problems with that.) That is all.

Nina, it looks like a string of bids...;-)) very nicely done.
