Lunar Eclipse, Chicago, Illinois, USA

It's always a special pleasure when I get to watch astronomical happenings from my own porch. You'll be able to find another eclipse shot from the other side of our unit just last year. In this case, I shot it a little differently. I thought it might be fun to use a flash to light up the trees in our courtyard and capture the scene in its context. I loved the effect of highlighting the verdant life on earth as you gaze off into space.
