Flickr Friday - Lunar Edition

I decided to save this an extra day for Flickr Friday... I hope ya'll don't mind.  I did brave the cold Wednesday night with my tripod and tried to get some decent shots of the lunar eclipse.  I've embedded a slideshow with all the pictures, and you can see the complete set here.  If I'd been thinking more clearly, then I would have used the timer on the camera to reduce the amount of shake on the pictures which might have made them more clear, but they turned out OK despite that.

Not too bad. I like the slideshow effect, too. Time to invest in a VR lens, Nick.

Actually that was taken with a VR lens believe it or not. To be honest, I'm not sure exactly what the cause of the blur was. It could have been purely the lighting. Perhaps I should have taken more time to manually adjust the focus. Not sure. Part of it I'm sure is that the focal length of the lens compared to the distance of the object affects the shot too.
