2008 Lunar Eclipse
Prince George’s County, MD
Well, the eclipse was tonight and since I had nothing better to do to procrastinate, I grabbed my camera and set up shop outside. Okay, that’s not true. I ran out every 15-30 minutes, but still, you get the picture. My roommate gave me the idea, as he was the first to make the move out front. So, we ended up setting up two tripods on the sidewalk outside and both popped out every so often to snap a few pictures.

I’ve never taken pictures in the dark, let alone of the moon, but I quickly skimmed over some tips on the Internet and asked my roommate for help. Seems the combination worked for the most part.

One of my neighbors actually came up to talk, which was neat. She, a fellow grad student, was just getting home from class and walked over to see what I was doing. I’ve lived here a while, and I’ve never really met any of my neighbors. The guy next door, as well as another guy down the road (the home owner’s association president), usually nod or say hi, but that’s about it.
