DURING the early hours of the morning on June 16th, we were treated with a rare eclipse which passes through the center of the earth’s shadow, known as a central total lunar eclipse. You will have to wait another seven years for the next one that will occur on July 27, 2018.

As the moon passes through the earth’s shadow, it turns a deep blood red due to atmospheric conditions and is further enhanced by travelling closer to the center of the shadow than any other eclipse.

Jess and I braced the chilly 15 degrees Darwin had to offer and shot for several hours at the local Trailer Boat Club. It was bit tricky without a decent tripod head for large lenses but we persevered and some great shots were captured.

We hope you enjoy them!
