Hi friends, here’s another image from the lunar eclipse over South Africa last night. An amazing optical effect if I say so myself. This image of the lunar eclipse over South Africa was taken at 9:02pm using an extreme wide angle lens. This image is not manipulated or modified in any way whatsoever, this is what came straight out of camera. Most likely caused by misting on the lens due to the heavy dew fall last night, even though I was cleaning lenses with an anti-mist cloth every 2 minutes. I am pleased with the resulting image. Taken from Magaliesburg, South Africa
