Page one above the fold in a daily!

One of my shots of the February 20, 2008 total lunar eclipse was printed on page one, above the fold, in the Weatherford (Texas) Democrat (a daily).

Here's a composite - the actual submitted image is stripped in here, as of course the scan of the halftone was pretty ugly:



We had very good seeing here through the onset of totality and about halfway through it - then serious cloud cover moved in.

This was shot on a Canon EOS 20D with a Canon EF 70-200 mm f/2.8 IS plus an EF 2X focal length extender (at a composite focal length of 400 mm). Exposure was ISO 800, f/5.6, 1/5 sec, with mirror lockup.

Wow, Doug, congratulations! Very nice shot, and icing on the cake to have it published. Well done.
