Bouncing lunar eclipse

Last night I managed to get some photos of the lunar eclipse. Here's one of my blurred out shots (tripods are essential for photographing lunar eclipses, I find out later). You can see some clearer shots on my Flickr page:

or on the Sydney Observatory's blog:

At the point of full eclipse, the moon turned a dusty orangey red. Luckily I was one hour south of Sydney, looking out to sea, so there was hardly any light pollution to distract from the view.
