Blood Moon entry

@6:03 EST More difficult than anticipated, should have spent some time planning maybe. Making adjustments on the fly, such lighting contrast until it was very dark!

Data: Z8, 1200mm, .4 sec, f/13, ISO 12800

Here in the DC metro area, we're all looking at the underside of an overcast deck that's dropping snow and freezing rain on us.

We were socked in with low clouds, rain/ice/snow drizzle that will continue all day.
