You don't realise how fast the moon moves until you're chasing it with a camera.  By the time I finish writing this journal, I will have had to move my lens at least three times.  The eclipse has a beautiful reddish tinge, and I've spent the last hour or two snapping frame after frame of that celestial body as it becomes more and more obscured by the shadow of the earth.  Hopefully, I will end up with some photos worth posting;  many of them look beautiful in my preview screen, but I can't use that as a gauge for how they will actually look.  I sxhould finish this up now, and go back to shooting.  I've got a warm glass of whiskey, a fire roaring in the stove, and a memory card half full of images of a glowing orb in the sky.

Life is good.
