The Supermoon Lunar Eclipse of September 27, 2015

After missing the first part of the eclipse due to cloudy skies, a break finally came minutes before the eclipse hit totality. While weather was not cooperative, I was still able to capture the latter part of the eclipse after doing some driving around. In a nutshell, the lunar eclipse was spectacular and being able to see the curvature of Earth's shadow on the lunar surface is quite phenomenal. For now, enjoy these few images that I took and check back soon for more.
