Lunar eclipse sun 11 Dec 2011 00:30

Despite the clouds I managed to see some of the eclipse before going to sleep at 1am.
I took this photo with the panasonic TZ10 at maximum optical zoom and then maximum digital
zoom. The camera was supported on a car bonnet and the image adjusted for levels. I know
its blurry but all things considered the travel zoom does an amazing job at an effective zoom
of 12X optical and 4X digital (48X overall).

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7

Nice job Barry. I've heard that the best camera in the world is the one that you happen to have with you. Those little Panasonics with the Leica lenses are amazing aren't they. My wife has a DMC-FX48 but I don't think it has quite the reach that yours has.
