Fabulous Blood Moon Photo

[mnhtnbb]

Blood Moon and Pikes Peak (04/04/2015).

Taken during the lunar eclipse this morning. This is one single photo with a Sigma 150-500mm lens from 'Mark Dabling Boulevard' in Colorado Springs.

Pikes Peak Elevation: 14,114' (4,302 m). The lights on Pikes Peak are from the summit building. They offer food and souvenirs. You can drive your car up the mountain, use the Cog Railway, or hike up. ...

6. Camera?

What camera were you using. You say you used a Sigma 100-500mm zoom -- what camera? What were your settings -- full auto? aperture priority? shutter speed priority? what was the zoom? handheld or tripod?

Great pic!!!

12. Yes. I did NOT take this photo. It was shot by Lars Leber.

If you go to the fb page, you can read his responses to people's comments
and you may find the answers. He does say he used this app

where the took the photo.

8. WOW! Beautiful!

Thank you for sharing this!

When I was a kid we went to the top of Pikes Peak on a bus. Unfortunately, my main memory is when we were getting off the bus, a lady accidentally stepped on my mom's toe. Her shoe (my mom had sandals on) caught on my mom's toenail on her big toe and completely ripped it out. Don't remember anything else about it.

Not that it has anything to do with this gorgeous picture.

14. I was reading through the comments on the fb page of the photographer--Lars Leber--

and had to laugh at how many folks were really in to the "end times" meaning of
the event. So I thought it might be fun to see whether Neil DeGrasse Tyson had
made any comments about it, and indeed, he had! You can see what he has to say on this
short youtube video:

Also:

This sequence of eclipses - all within a single year of the Jewish religious calender (hang with me here) - follows an unusual alignment last Tuesday of the sun, Earth and Mars. And Monday night's get-the-ball-rolling eclipse occurs during Mars' closest approach to Earth.

That's got end-timers antsy.

Televangelist Pastor John Hagee is telling people to beware of an earth-shaking event between now and October 15, 2015.

It has to do with blood moons falling on Passover and Sukkot, a more obscure Jewish holiday, and dire things that happened to the Jewish people in the past when they did.

"Every heavenly body is controlled by the unseen hand of God, which signals coming events to humanity," Hagee says on his website. "There are no solar or lunar accidents."

The web page also promotes Hagee's book, not so coincidentally titled "Four Blood Moons, Something Is About to Change."

The incongruity is that four eclipses occurring in a relative row isn't all that apocalyptic. It happened last in 2003-2004 and will happen again seven more times this century, according to space.com.
