Lunar eclipse composite – 17mm and 400mm shots

Hello,

Here is a composite of the lunar eclipse made up from the original series of wide-angle shots taken with the 17-40mm F4L, plus a few Moon discs from the series with the 400mm F5.6L lens, pasted, sized and blended in over the original blown out lunar discs.

Fortunately, (i.e. not by planning!), I had a series of 400mm telephoto shots taken at (nearly) the same time intervals as the wide field shots.

It was a little difficult registering the re-sized 400mm lunar discs with the centre of the bloated, burned out blobs in the wide field views.

Cheers

Dennis
