I nearly killed my computer putting this together (quite literally) a7r files are MASSIVE and putting 26 of them into a pano with 4GB of RAM was quite frankly suicidal. As a result this took me about 8 hours longer than it should have. Needless to say I just bought a ram upgrade for my Mac. Here’s hoping that my computer will improve haha. Before this past Sunday I had never seen a full lunar eclipse in person and man was it worth the effort to get out and see it. My girlfriend and I headed out to photograph the event and just take in a pretty rare moment that won’t be seen again for several decades. I know everyone’s seen a ton of photos of the event over the past few days (most of which have been pretty heinous) so hopefully this one will be a bit different. This is a 26 image panoramic all shot at 200mm; this includes 8 images for the moon shot at 200mm as well. Nothing was re-sized for this one. This is just as we saw it. I’m so lucky to have this view quite literally in my backyard. The mountain to the left of the image is Mt. Si and toward the middle lies the town of North Bend, WA. I hope you will enjoy this one; it was a ton of work to put together.

Here’s a cropped view:
