During totality
ISO 400 8secs @ f8
4secs @ f5.6
1sec @ f2.8

Hi Guys

In the very dark lunar eclipse of 16th July 2000, the Moon passed through the centre of the Earth’s shadow and at mid-totality, I exposed for 3 mins at f8 on Kodak Gold 100 ASA colour print film.

See photo in Msg 38 in this thread.

Cheers
