I too shot the bloodmoon! Unfortunately there was too much moisture in the sky so trying to get a sharp shot was hard. the camera couldn’t even AF on it initially.

I sadly had a lot of clouds. Saw it, but couldn’t take a picture.

Same here, solid cloud cover + showers. Damn shame because it was a total Lunar eclipse here.

Didn’t see the “blood” part but was a beautiful clear fiull moon
Hey looks like you had better conditions than I.
This is the third lunar eclipse I have photographed (I have also photographed in summer 2018 (evening) and January 2019 (very early morning around 05:00-06:00, -8°C but fantastically clear sky) and I have never been able to use AF on the darkened moon.
The above picture is exported directly to my phone, then cropped and slightly edited so quality suffered. I will get around doing a proper edit from my raw files this evening but your pictures do look like you had better atmospheric conditions than I encountered.
Edit:

2018 (EOS 50D):

Ah nice, I think conditions were probably not far off but maybe I was indeed a bit luckier. Eventually AF did catch on as it rose above the thick layer of haze. The initial pictures are MF though, tricky enough haha!
Here’s what I have, in hindsight I should have brought my EF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS II USM which would havew most likely resulted in more details but I wanted to save weight and only brought my RF 15-35mm F2.8 L IS USM and my RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM which is very dark and needs high ISO to make out anything at the short shutter speeds required at 500mm. But you can clearly see on the first image how bad the conditions were
Shot on my EOS R5
Edit:
This is what the camera/lens combo can do under ideal conditions:

Still lovely, looks we suffered similar conditions derby! And yeah my 180-600 is equally excellent to shoot the moon under ideal conditions. I was hoping for more yesterday!

No idea, anything I say is a total WAG, but that is def not the passenger window of an airliner, maybe a chopper? just realised that what I thought was the lower edge of the window is the leading edge of the wing.
But if you are not in an aircraft; the only conveyance I can think of that can give you that kind of view is a cable car. That looks like it is on the coast so I am going to go out on a limb and say Rio?

I’m struggling. Waterfront…could be a Great Lake…could be the ocean. Big city…causeways… The orientation of the causeway doesn’t look like New Orleans. Could be Tampa I suppose. Or maybe a right downwind to Miami.
Those are my guesses.

Is it the big apple and hudson river?
Edit: probably not, it’s missing a high rise or two.

Some pix from yesterday:
The two plant experts got shovelling duty. Which they did admirably. I did all the wheeling about. That mule sure would have come in handy! Took us six hours to move 12 cubic meters of white sand (about twenty tons I reckon) and we were all right proper knackered by the end of it.
This bit of soil needs white sand and then pavers. Today, in the pouring rain the paving material got delivered. Well the first load of it, because the entire load will be at least two lorries full.
Our pavement expert taking care of my hard work. Levelling all that white sand into a state where a sweet patio can be laid out there over the coming days.
This job is absolutely huge. About the biggest soil moving and paving operation I have done so far. Most of the digging was done in one day by a guy with a digger we hired. It would have taken us weeks to do that by hand.
The client is a retired cop and his wife. They are awesome people. They dig my diverse band of misfits and our joy in the sporty labour and I dig his stories, his relaxed trusting attitude and their enthusiasm for our work.
