"Total lunar eclipse" - 月全蝕~

Can you see the difference between this three photos?

This week, i let Coco to take a rest, i'm not going to talk about her...~

On this Tuesday night (28/8), there was a big news in Sydney or even in the world...What's that news?...haha...that's the "Total Lunar Eclipse". The previous ""Total Lunar Eclipse" was in 2000. Actually, i knew this news before Tuesday. So when i got home after a little shopping in Westfield, i immediately had dinner and took bath. But after i finished everything, it's already 8pm...So i took my lovely Camera out, set the Tripod in the backyard of my house and waited for this "memorable" moment.

But when i look at the moon, it already turned in "Orange-Red" color. Therefore, i took the photos at once (see the first photo. i took that at 8:15pm). I was really excited and i phoned Ms. Da to ask her to look at this. Coz, the scene was really very beautiful!! (Huh~~ Do you agree?). In fact, that's my first time to see the "Total Lunar Eclipse". A few minutes later, my other 4 house-mates came to the backyard as well. We sat, chatted and laughed under the moon in the backyard together. Haha...the whole backyard immediately fulled of fun.

I watched for this "eclipse" for 90 mins and i took many photos (I wanna watch more longer time, but i couldn't, coz i still haven't finished Ros's assignment which due the next day...=.="). In this 90 mins, i could see that the moon was firstly in "Orange-Red", as time went pass, it became darker and darker (see the 2nd photo). An hour later, the moon is totally covered by the sun and i phoned Da again. (Unfortunately, She didn't pick up my call...). Few minutes later, i saw there was some bright light at the edge of the moon. That's mean, the moon is coming out and the whole process was coming to the end. *She finally called me back but you know, she missed the wonderful scene...@.@...Do you know, the next "Total lunar eclipse" will happen in 4 years later (10/12/2011 11:45pm Aus time).

Anyway, i was very happy to have this chance to watch this "eclipse". Some of my friends and even my dad asked me about this and i told them i did watch, they were all very jealous. Coz, the weather in HK was really bad, raining and Thunderstorms. They couldn't even see the moon...What a shame~~~ =.="... Doesn't matter lol, see the 3 photos in this blog as a compensation....hahaha...^.^v

*Haha...no worries, i have already got the wonderful photos, so in fact you didn't miss any moment. V^o^V...
