Bar Harbor in Purple

I’m back from the off-line outback of Maine. I was without Internet access for a few days, that’s why I failed to upload the daily posts…

This is an HDR I created just 45 minutes ago while staying at the Best Western in Bar Harbor, ME. I shot 4 bracketed exposures 2 stops apart – I actually shot 9 exposures, 1-stop apart but just used the 4. The sky was so bright red, I had to desaturate it slightly. I wanted to shoot a second set of exposures with a slightly wider focal length but the magic was already gone – it lasted for just around 2 minutes….

A few seconds of Lunar Eclipse

I wasn’t really expecting to see the lunar eclipse last night. The totality started at 21;22 local time (MET) and ended at 23:02:42.

I shot following picture at 22:02 and had no hope to see anything within the hour:

But then at 23:01:29 – one minute before the totality ended, the clouds broke for just a few seconds and I got this:
