Tonight’s historic lunar eclipse was the longest in 580 years. A blood full Moon to boot. Prime time was 3:45 to after 4am. Well… got up at 2am, all gear packed and ready, RAINING! This has happened before. What I learned is when conditions are like this, as long as the weather charts say partial clearing, and the wind is blowing, there is a chance the shoot may be a go. So I drove around at 3 am, headed back home because the sky was pea soup. As soon as I pulled in home, I turned around and gave it another shot, I was up anyway. When I got to the beach I turned round and sure enough, there was a slight break in the sky, there it was. The moon was well on it’s way being shadowed by mother Earth. It was quite a sight. Windy as hell but got the shots. All in all another beautiful night under the eclipsing moon and a few stars above what was mostly a cloudy sky. Yall have a nice weekend. Godspeed, JB
