Alarm goes off which seems like minutes after I heard Jay Leno talking and we venture outside in our jammies with our unipod and camera in hand to catch this natural space odyssey and wonderment. The weather outside was amazing. You could have been camping (if one's inclined to camping), it was so lovely. Light breeze was blowing, stars were bright, clear skies, and the orange moon with a sliver of white as the eclipse started. We heard a few other doors open and shut so apparently we weren't the only star gazing geeks in the neighborhood.
Hubby sets up the unipod (to keep camera still with night shots which are impossible to take) to start our photo session.
"It's only a Kodak digital, I don't think we're really going to get any good pics" I say.
"Sure we will!" he says.
Below are our Time Magazine Pictures of the Week shots.....:)
Zoom in a bit more!
Okay, now focus!
Good Lord do you want me to do it??
Apparently husband was a bit nervous with my directions, or is that his finger?
Here's what it should have looked like.
We saw a few shooting stars and after our pics and viewing headed back in.
We turned on the TV, thinking we could catch some amazing video on Discovery or The Weather Channel, someone with a little better camera skills then what we were using. No such luck but we came across some absolutely hilarious TV. Let's see, Maury was still trying to make sure every baby mama across America gets proper DNA testing for their bastard children, there was a Spanish speaking version of "The View" and KERA was advertising "ADD and loving it!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRjbjYeUI7U&feature=related WTF?!?!?! Maybe if you got some sleep instead of watching TV at 2 am you could pay attention!
I'm going back to bed until the next lunar eclipse, not slated until June 15, 2011. Well, as soon as I get done ordering this Abdoer Twist Abs Chair. Afterall, it's almost January 1st, my new diet will be starting soon.
"Honey, where's our credit card?"
