Well, today was the day - total lunar eclipse - the blood red moon! I actually had class 6pm-8pm, but the lecturer was nice and let us out at around 7pm (when the eclipse started) then we all sort of went out again at 7:50pm, even though the lecture hadn’t fully finished. The photos I took came out alright considering I didn’t have a high-tech camera - all I have is a simple “point and shoot” type (Nikon Coolpix 4100 to be exact).
A pic of the partial eclipse (taken around 7pm):
The interesting/funny thing about this one is the camera was placed on a temporary tripod…Marty’s head! and it turned out quite well, no double moons from shaking. Thanks Marty 
And of course, a pic of the full eclipse (taken around 9pm)
Yes, the moon is miniature, again this was taken on a “tripod” - the handrails (which is why its on an angle).
What I realised is any immobile (preferably flat) surface works well as a temporary tripod - obviously you don’t get the freedom, but it’s better than nothing! Also, to even further reduce the chances of movement, put the timer on - that way you don’t have to touch the camera when it takes the shot

aww, there there clarii - at least you saw the lunar eclipse
and if you did want a pic you can always google for one which would have like super zoom and look extra good! or you can use my photo of the tiny tiny moon 
Damn i got beaten by a plain flat surface! =(
I didn’t remember seeing the red dot in the full eclipse yesterday, but nonetheless looks very very nice. =D
(love your logo on the pic as well)
lols, Plain Flat Surface:1, Marty:0…
hm, yeah that was actually taken as I was going back home…it took me like 30min to get home coz i just kept stopping and taking photos, that pic was one of the last few that were taken, so i’m happy i took those extra shots
and i realised i could have changed exposure on my camera, but i didn’t ><” ah wells, will have to wait till the next eclipse!
