In just over an hour the Moon will become dimmer and almost red in colour as the Earth moves between it and the Sun. I’ll be outside with my camera but first I did some research on photographing the moon and wrote a post about it on my blog.
If you’re out tonight with your camera, put it on a tripod (and use a remote release if you have one, or the camera timer if not), shoot in manual mode, open the aperture as wide as it’ll go and starting with an exposure of about 1/125sec bracket your shots with faster and slower exposures.
The eclipse is due to begin at 10:44pm, it’s getting foggy here in Blarney unfortunately. Hopefully you’ll have clearer skies in Mallow!
Flickr, one of the biggest social photo sites around has a really useful mapping tool. You can view photos by location and it knows about many places in Ireland! Pay Cork a visit and click on some of the markers. You might recognise some well known spots as well as discovering a few new ones too.
I tried searching for Mallow as well. It is found, but I wasn’t able to link directly to it because the link didn’t work. Search for “Mallow, Cork, Ireland” in the box provided. There are a few photos there for your perusal.
If you’re interested, I wrote a bit more about exploring Cork on my own blog too so take a look there for links to other locations around the country and a few more photos I found around Cork.
