Full Lunar Eclipse over the Golden Gate Bridge - Dec 2011

Preferred Viewing
Wallpaper Size

I had to rush back to car to get some additional equipment and left my wife Lynneal with the camera to continue shooting the lunar eclipse of 2011 as it descended over the Golden Gate. She continue to snap shots waiting for the display to go blank. The result was an animated sequence of the full eclipse setting behind the Golden Gate. Upon arrival home I realized she had captured a unique set of shots that could be stacked in Photoshop to make a single time lapse stack of the eclipsed moon. The result show the darkening of the moon as it begins setting behind a famous San Francisco icon.

My wife typically does much of the assistance as I do my photography and doesn't get nearly the credit she deserves on all the images I post. In this case however my only contribution was to handled the post editing in Photoshop to stack the images.

She took all the shots while I was racing to get gear we had decided to leave behind. She did a fine job. If you agree and like the shot, please take a moment to give her a comment or favorite the image. Personally I think she ended up with a shot more interesting than mine and perhaps quite a bit different than most others got.

Cheers,
Darv
