Details:
Conditions in Mutare were very good for observing the eclipse and yielded many of the usual Blood Moon photographs. However when photographing the approaching umbra just before it had completely encroached on the Moon, a beautiful vivid blue ozone fringe which lasted for a few minutes appeared. The attached animation, which consists of 21 still photographs taken between 9.13 and 9.22 pm local time using highlight instead of shadow detail exposures, presents a rare and unusual view of this lunar eclipse phenomenon which usually just imparts a pale bluish tinge to the last or first directly illuminated portion of the Moon (as is shown in the conventional picture taken at about the same time). I would be interested to know if anyone has come across other natural photographs in which a portion of the Moon is so strongly colored blue? Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 in manual exposure.
