Lunar Eclipse

The eclipse of August 16th, 2008, as seen from Cyprus.

Midnight 16th August 2008

Photographs taken from Southern Cyprus.

The lunar eclipse is seen in Polemi village at midnight. Polemi, Paphos in Southern Cyprus.

Photographs taken on a digital camera by Glynis Smy. No flash was used for capturing these images.


The lower pictures were taken with flash used the eclipse can be seen at the lower end of the light rays given off by the sun, camera movement made these pictures look incredible, I gave some of the photographs names because they captured my imagination
The dogs howled and the air was still


The Worm

The night sky was clear.


The Grub

The light from the partially eclipsed moon was very bright.


The Light Bulb

The weather in the village that day had been hot and humid.

    Great shots, I took some and set the digital camera on landscape and it was a little clear shot. I love your photos.
