The weather was not cooperating very much. We were having rain and heavy cloud cover but I was able to shoot some of the Lunar Eclipse through holes in the clouds.

Partial Solar Eclipse

Partial Solar Eclipse as seen from Fire Island, New York 

On the morning of Sunday, November 3, 2013, the eastern United States was privileged to be in the path of a partial Solar Eclipse at Sunrise. Many had the misfortune of having clouds obscure their viewing of the eclipse, as did I, but there was enough of a break in the clouds for me to capture some awesome images of this rare event from Fire Island, New York!

Total Lunar Eclipse over the Pacific Ocean

Total Lunar Eclipse

On December 10, 2011 there was a Lunar Eclipse visible in the Western US. At 3am I was on a Los Angeles, CA beach photographing the Eclipse over the Pacific Ocean. I was able to see the Eclipse into totality before lost it in the morning sunrise.
