I got up early for me, but somewhat late, to try to catch the moon. As you can tell the photo didn't work out well, and this was my best shot. I made it prettier with boosted saturation, but it doesn't change the basic problems. I had a bad location and with obstructions and to much vibration to make the shot. I could have raised the ISO, but just wasn't willing to, relying on a slow shutter speed. Anytime, I needed to do some more planning for this one. I guesse I have lots of time before the next Lunar Eclipse.

Red Zombie Riding Hood

Red Zombie Riding Hood
Calgary had it's annual Zombie Walk on Saturday, October 17, 2009. The undead arose at Olympic Plaza, staggered down Stephen Avenue Walk, then limped to Tomkins Park for a rest, and finally undied at Shaw Millennium Park. This year the event was used to collect food and funds for the Calgary Inter-Faith Food Bank. For the first time, I used a Canon EF 50mm f/1.88 II lens, which for it's price, is quite good for what I wanted, which was to create a small depth of field effect, and to have a fast shutter speed.
