Flame On!

[JimFox]

This is from the Total Lunar Eclipse last week. I drove to Kansas to capture it as most of the western US was socked in with stormy clouds. The forecast for the part of Kansas that I went to, was for clear skies. But that turned out to not be the truth. Fortunately they weren't to thick, and I think they at times added a cool touch to the eclipse, and that's the cause with this image.

Nikon Z8 and Tamron 50-400mm

All comments are welcome,

Neat effect - looks like the moon is blowing its top

Thanks Alan!

Yeah, I was really happy with how the clouds worked there.

I like this a lot more than most of the clear sky, full eclipse photos. You kept just enough detail in the bright part and the clouds add a nice touch.

Thanks Kyle! It ended up being really cool looking to me, and makes it a bit different I think.

Thanks Jameel. I am really happy with it. When clouds roll in, we have no control of it, so it's like flipping a coin. I got lucky I guess on how this turned out.
