I was too lazy to set up a tripod.

(3,178 posts)I almost forgot to shoot the eclipse. I was hard at work editing some event photos that I had shot earlier in the day. I was really tired, and didn't want to bother with a tripod. I thought I would just try it handheld to see what happens. To be honest, I underestimated how dark the full red moon would be, and how high the ISO would go. The original files were super ugly with noise. I processed the image in Adobe Camera Raw, and masked out the night sky. I then brought the exposure up on just the moon, thinking the noise wouldn't be that noticeable.
I promise not to be so lazy for the next eclipse in November! LOL!

Grumpy laughs at the great distance of his photographic subjects: "I don't need no stinkin' tripod!"
