In search of the lunar eclipse

On Wed 15th there was a lunar eclipse apparently!  I went off in search of it and saw absolutely nothing that resembled a moon at all, way too much cloud cover in Cornwall that evening.  Still the sun did peek it's head out momentarily to set and I managed to take this picture.  It fascinates me how the camera sees sunsets, skies etc totally different to our eyes.  This is sooc.

I love it, but the sky didn't look anything like that. It was taken with a fixed focal 400mm lens ( I was planning of photographing the moon!!), ISO 100 and cloudy WB and that is what it came out as.  A couple of minutes later I took a photo of some calves in the field next to the one above,

and it came out like this - which is more realistic than the first one.  Only difference in the settings were I had upped the ISO to 200 as the light was dropping.  Once again sooc.

I came across this article the other date and personally found it very interesting, hopefully some of you will as well.
