Ever wondered why a lunar eclipse looks so different from a regular crescent moon? Geometry and light (my kids are rolling their eyes right now 😂).

​During a normal crescent moon, you’re seeing the Moon’s own "night" side—the sunlit phase as viewed from our angle. Just like we go through day and night on earth, so does the moon.

​During a lunar eclipse, the Earth slides directly between the Sun and a full Moon. The shadow is Earth's shadow (the umbra) active across the lunar surface.

Also, because sunlight refracts through Earth’s atmosphere, the shorter blue wavelengths scatter away while the longer red wavelengths pass through, bathing the shadowed region in that fiery blood-orange glow while the un-eclipsed sliver stays brilliant white.

First pic is the end of the eclipse on 8/28/2026 and the second pic is 30 minutes prior to the peak of the eclipse at 12:12am. You can distinctively see how the earth's shadow moved across the surface over time.

SpaceX treated us to a pre-dawn show this morning at 0533 with a taxi ride for 29 Starlink satellites into orbit. The left side of the picture shows the second stage working its way over the horizon and into the rising sun for a nice "jellyfish".

Also on the left side is the colorfully lit Max Brewer Bridge along with the re-entry burn for the first stage of the rocket that happened just after 6 minutes into the launch. Center frame lights in the distance is the Vehicle Assembly Building but just to the left of center is what appears to be a streaking shooting star.

This was an 8 minute and 40 second from Titusville, FL at Space View Park

Nothing beats catching a night launch with good company. Spent last Saturday out at Kennedy Point Park shooting the SpaceX Falcon 9 liftoff and landing with Terry Allen and Rick Allen.

This single 485-second exposure captured the entire trajectory as the rocket lifted off from SLC-40, putting eight Globalstar satellites into orbit before the booster flipped, burned, and came right back to land at Landing Zone 40.

Quick two-flash setup for a headshot flyer going out for next weekend’s tournament.

One of the biggest things that separates flash photography from an iPhone shot is the catch light in the eyes. That tiny reflection adds depth, dimension, and a little sparkle that makes a portrait feel alive.

I missed my friends Terry and Rick because I wasn't able to leave early enough for the beach. Shot this one off US1 by Kennedy Point Park. This United Launch Alliance Atlas V headed out on a NE trajectory to deliver 29 satellites for Amazon LEO (a competitor to Starlink).

Because of the short time after sunset, there's a bit of a visible jellyfish on this one. It was cool to see the boosters peel off on this one as well. My son also joined me for this shoot; he's ordered a wider lens to make sure he gets the full arc in the future (18mm isn't wide enough to get the full arc from this distance).

There's a nice catamaran that stayed relatively still that we were able to get the arc shot over. Waters were too choppy for a nice reflection.

I'm late to the game for Artemis II, but I was able to see it live and up close from about 13 miles away. Had a good friend (thanks Dan!) save me a spot out on the pier. Not much great about these shots.

The booster separation in the second pic was really neat to see through a 1000mm zoom. Hard to believe this one has four astronauts headed to the moon!
