      An HDR Stack Of The First Total Lunar Eclipse Since 2022, Moments After Totality.

      I shot the entire eclipse as a bracketed timelapse, taking over 5000 photos to ensure that I caught the full dynamic range at every phase of the eclipse. After going through all of the photos for many hours, I’ve found a few bracketed shots that turned out exceptionally well (imo, I was very happy), this being one of them.

      This HDR stack honestly blew my mind as I was, for once, able to keep detail across the entire face of the moon, even at the moment of highest dynamic range (just moments past totality). I was also incredibly impressed with Lightroom’s ability to auto-merge the files as an HDR stack, as this normally takes me quite a long time to do by hand.

      Eclipses are one of my favourite photographic experiences in the world (or out of it), so I hope that you like it as much as I do πŸ™‚

      If you want to see a high res version of the full progression of the eclipse across all of its phases, it is available on my darkroom: [https://wanderloots.darkroom.com/products/moon/1647965](https://wanderloots.darkroom.com/products/moon/1647965)

      I used photopills to plan the shots, Sony a7iii, 100-400 mm lens and 1.4x teleconverter, and u/skywatcherusa Star Adventurer 2i with an equatorial mount for tracking.Β 

      EXIF: f9 ISO 100, 1/8 s, 560 mm

      The image were processed in Lightroom, increasing the dynamic range and emphasizing the natural colours picked up by my camera. Minor sharpness & denoise was also applied.
