Total Lunar Eclipse 2025

The First Total Lunar Eclipse Since 2022 (I'm so glad they're back!) Each image is a single shot, not HDR. I selected images that were on the cusp of being blown out/underexposed to try and display the full dynamic range, aligned to illustrate the shadow of the Earth (the umbra). I hope you like it! A bit about why this shot matters to me: Total Lunar Eclipses are one of my favourite photographic subjects. They happen so infrequently, each experience is unique, sticking in my mind for years. The last time I shot a total lunar eclipse (in 2022), I was stuck in a job that was burning me out. As I sat under the eclipse of 2022, I had hours to watch one of the most incredible natural phenomena that Earth has to offer, reflecting on the changes I could make to my life. Now, 3 years later, I've quit my job and am pursuing the life of my dreams as a creator, artist, and educator (on YouTube). Shooting the 2025 Total Lunar Eclipse brought me right back to the place I was 3 years ago, reflecting both on how grateful I was to be in a much better place than I was during the last eclipse, and that the clouds stayed away for this magical experience. I used photopills to plan the shots, Sony a7iii, 100-400 mm lens and 1.4x teleconverter, and @skywatcherusa Star Adventurer 2i with an equatorial mount for tracking.  EXIF: f9-f11, ISO 100, 560 mm, shutter speeds ranging from 1/250 --> 20 s
