I picked up photography with the European solar eclipse of 1999. After several unsuccessful attempts I finally got it right a second time with a lunar eclipse.
An EOS 400D, a EF 70-200 F2.8L lens with a 2x Converter, cable release, tripod and cooperating weather finally did the job. Though I had to change location three times to outmanoeuvre sheets of clouds that were drifting in. After some Photoshop work this is what the March 3 2007 Dutch lunar eclipse looked like. A print of this collage now decorates the 'Tweelingen' Observatory, Spijkenisse, Netherlands
