Lunar Eclipse on 16 th of July 2019

A Lunar Eclipse is like a solar eclipse a seldom spectacle that occurs when the moon is in the shadow of the earth and therefor could not be enlightened by the sun so much.

I don't know why I didn't show you the pictures of the Lunar Eclipse here on Hive/Steem the last year. Maybe because I was a bit disappointed with my result when comparing it with other of my Photography meetup in Linz. Because the Sky above the house of my mother was a bit dizzy that time and so my pictures of the moon were not as sharp and good as the pictures of my photography friends who drove to the top of a mountain to take pictures of the lunar eclipse there. Of course, they had a much sharper and clearer image.

Here are some of my results from this day:

I already shot several pictures of the moon and in June 2019 I had much more luck and the pictures where a lot clearer at full moon, unfortunately there was no lunar eclipse. :-( But in May 2022 there should be the next visible lunar eclipse here in Germany/Austria, so I will give it another try. I hope I will have a much clearer sky than the last time, but we'll see. Usually on a clear sky I can get a pretty beautiful and clear picture of the moon like the one in the last shot posted here. Of course, I did a little post processing on it, although I try to get nice shots, so I don't need any post processing on most of my pictures posted here on Hive.
