Thanks useful information: 4
It is still a ways off but, it's time to start thinking about dusting of the Bigmas & tele-convertors for December's lunar eclipse.
Details are here

We can start to haggle over the location but, it probably doesn't matter that much as long as we are away from the bright lights.
It will be the middle of the night but, it should be a nice and balmy affair.

Maybe we could pair it up with the elusive and fabled Lithgow Blast Furnace meet?

Ah must be ready to bust out the 55-200mm kit lens, give it a bit of a working to get a small moon shot hehehe
I may join this! If you don't mind a moon photoing no0b rocking up in a noisy obnoxious car with 2 or 3 other photography noobs equipped with SLRs and eager to learn/try new photo things
Decided to "shave" my signature ;]
Now mostly shoots with: Canon 5D MK3 & Canon 24-70 f/2.8/50mm f/1.8 (also have a 550D with a variety of lenses/goodies and a Sony Nex-5N)
PP with: Lightroom only, Photoshop is merely a 9-5 work tool for me.
Hmm, you're not talking about me are you? Haha, except for the loud car bit, I don't even have a catback on my rexy. I'll be keen for this, assuming I have the corresponding days off.Ah must be ready to bust out the 55-200mm kit lens, give it a bit of a working to get a small moon shot hehehe

Anyone still have plans to drive out to Lithgow tonight?
I'm not 100% sure I'll be going (anywhere) at this stage. The weather isn't promising...

I'm not sure how good a view of the moon we'll get from here, and we're having people over tonight, but given how late the eclipse is, I might be able to duck outside for a shot or two.
I got a pretty good view of the 2007 red moon from Cronulla.
Hopefully the view outside will be decent tonight.
This time I'll shoot it at 600mm.
Got my work xmas party tonight. Will aim to focus well when I get back

Try not to bump into any tables, chairs, tripods, etc. You don't want your colleagues to know the real you. :-D
Cloudy and stormy in the far NW QLD outback, I will keep an eye on it, and will get the 400VR out if it looks like we will get a clear view.
Suggest you set your lens up pre-focussed to infinity before you head out the the xmas party and then afterwards all you have to do is set the camera on a tripod and aim. Helps if you have had a few too many.Got my work xmas party tonight. Will aim to focus well when I get back
I am in Tokyo, so far so good. Just a few very thing high altitude clouds going past. About 6C out side, so crisp clear air after 4 days of drizzle washed the pollution away. My big lens, 500mm, is set up and ready to go. The best part of the eclipse starts in 30 minutes from now. Full in about 1 hour 50 from now.
