How to photograph the 'Blood Moon'

Many call it a Blood Moon because as the earth's shadow falls across the surface of the moon the light emitted turns coppery red.

Tonight's moon is the last in a tetrad of Blood moon's that began in April 2014.  Many believe it will fufill the prophecy of the end-of-time.

  • Steady your camera with a tripod.
  • Set your shutter speed to 1/15th or 1/8th of a second, nothing slower or it will be blurry.
  • Make sure that you are away from any other light source. Get away from street lights and parking lots.
  • Put something in the foreground to give your photo perspective, showing how big the super blood moon really appears.
  • Shoot a lot of photos!
