Lunar Eclipse: A wide Perspective

[Bibhav Behera]

Tried some wide compositions during the Lunar eclipse that occurred on 10th Dec. Here you can see the copper colour of the moon in the image.

I included the manmade water tank as part of the composition. If it violates the rules of the form, please have the post removed.

Canon EOS 7D, 18-55mm at 21mm, Tripod Mounted
SS 11" (Manual Focus)
f/3.5
ISO 400

Comments and Critiques welcome.

Nice attempt. As a wide perspective of the night sky, this image does look interesting. However, if shooting the lunar eclipse was the objective, then I would say the water tank and the bright lights at the bottom right corner draw attention away from the moon. There appear to be 3 distant cable pylons (?) visible near the lower edge. The image would have better without them, perhaps you could clone them out (if cloning is fine with you )

Hi Abhishek,
Agree with you that the lunar eclipse does get overpowered by the lights and the big 'lollypop'. I did notice the power cable hoists however I don't clone so I preferred to let them be as they didn't attract much attention in my opinion. The foreground elements definitely overpower the scene so I guess the concept didn't work well. This was how I saw the scene sitting on a hillock that night
Need to keep working harder!!!

Seems you have forgotten about IndiaWilds.

Which one is the moon?

Haha! The lines were added to try and slip this image in on the sly.

The Part copper slightly large object is the moon!
