Aaand Facebook Mobile never actually posted my status from the middle of the eclipse. I was hoping to copy+paste that into my full blog post.

Shotwell is getting more annoying all the time. For example: it assumes you're importing from a pure camera, so if you plug in, say, a smartphone, it offers to import every single image on the device. Including your web browser cache. That's helpful.
But the latest: It strips out timezone data?!?! I uploaded a whole batch of eclipse photos dated tomorrow. At least Flickr lets me fix it with two clicks for the whole set.
Clouds are rising, but still well below the sun. Can’t see Catalina anymore.

Eclipse watch: Clouds started rolling in toward the west, so I headed up into the hills. There's a ton of people up here! Now as long as the wind doesn't blow my pinhole camera over the cliff…
Today, I watched a lunar eclipse, sunrise, and sunset. Probably a first.

Venus & Jupiter just popped into view. It would’ve been nice to add Mercury too, but it’s below the horizon.
Also: I really should’ve brought gloves.
If I’d thought about it, I could have gone back to the spot where I watched the sunrise this morning to catch the moonrise for full symmetry. Oh, well.
Lia BrownCool! I don’t think it was visible here…and it was so cold last night I wouldn’t have had much patience anyway…

Kelson VibberYeah, I think you might have been able to see the beginning of it in your area, but not much else.

Wendi HeckathornWhere did you watch it at?

Kelson VibberI watched most of the eclipse from home (well, across the street), then went down to an area of Redondo Beach where a street runs along a bluff above the beach (Esplanade & Avenue A). I tried to watch the moon set while eclipsed, but the sky was too light by then to really see it at that point, so I drove over to an east-facing hill to watch the sunrise. I came back to Esplanade at the end of the day to watch the sunset.

Wendi HeckathornThat’s awesome! I’m bummed I missed it, but I did enjoy seeing the beautiful full moon. Thanks for sharing the gorgeouspics you took. 🙂

Watched the moon go into total eclipse from home, then hightailed it down to the beach to catch the last visible part before moonset without obstructions. No luck. Got here just as the rest of the eclipse hunters were packing up, because the combination of dust, haze, and lightening sky made the moon virtually invisible.
