Total Lunar Eclipse

Not a successful capture, but I learned a lot. I'll try again on year 2011 !

After the failure, I searched the internet and found this wonderful tutorial, aaahhh too late! I use a 500mm telephoto lens and Canon 350D, and my two cents along the process are:
1. Use a sturdy tripod.
2. Activate the mirror lock-up function of the camera.
3. The moon walks - no, not MJ :) - long exposure could give you a blurry image.
4. Shoot in RAW. You need those extra bits to boost the image in post-procesing.
5. Use two memory cards. After shooting a few shots, switch memory cards, upload photos to the computer to see results (and learn mistakes) immediately. The other card prevents you from missing a shot.
6. Use the manual mode of the camera.
7. Bracket exposures.

P.S. Taipei had only about 90 minutes window to observe the lunar eclipse.
