Blood Moon

Hi everyone, have I got a story for you. First off you may or may not know that last night was a lunar eclipse, which produces a red or orange colored moon. Now in ancient times when this happened some civilizations thought it marked the end of the world or some cataclysmic event. Now the Egyptians and Mayans and those sort of extinct civilizations were all smart, but nothing ever happened so there is no need for alarm. This event does however make for some great photography opportunities, if you can stay up late, which is where the story comes in.

I had known about this for about a week or two and I was planning on staying up late for it to take some pictures. Everything was going great, I was listening to Coast to Coast with George Noory and I had some stronger level nicotine juice to vape on. Normally I vape 0-6mg, but this one had about 10mg. So the event was supposed to start at 2:15 am and hit its peak at 3:15 am. Great, on track, doing great. Then I pass out, bummer right? Not, somehow I programmed my brain to wake up at 3:00 am because out of nowhere I wake up at 3:27. It was a little after the peak, but I am not complaining because this is pretty damn rare for it to happen in a place where you can see it. Normally all these astrological events happen in china or Australia, but this time it happened here. So I quickly got aware that I had woken up so that I didn't fall back to sleep. I went and got my 5th gen iPod touch, and snapped some crappy low res photos, yay! >:(  It is better than nothing though.

So below is the crappy iPod photo and above is a professional picture that I am going to guess was taken with a DSLR.

P.S. I'll upload the crappy ones tonight.

Remember to have a great day and hope you enjoy.
