I was up at the crack of dawn this morning to watch the eclipse. Without my DSLR camera with long lens or the perfect setting I was positioned wharf side, full of bright lights (from the path). What a fantastic opportunity to take a picture of this event than with my iPhone in a bright place. Luckily my iPhone has video mode or I wouldn’t have caught the rare glimpse of a lost cow jumping over the moon right as the eclipse happened. I’m sure those using long exposure would not have caught it that’s for sure.
Manly was buzzing with early risers eager to catch the moon. The swim was very busy today today too.
I attempted to capture people at their best angles today…
JK’s best angle
If these here guys just looked at me they would have realised I was blogging today. Some people like the off centre, not looking at the camera angle..

By attending this event, you are doing so at your own risk. Amongst other risks, there is a risk of too much alcohol, risk of injury through dance.
Risk that comes with excessive exercise, risk of social embarrassment, risk of having too much fun and being unavailable for the Sunday morning swim.

What a joyful splendid blog. I am having a nap now after watching the lunar eclipse and the red moon before swimming.

Love your people captures.
And the cow…… National Geographic for sure, Manly Daily at the very least.

I know you are fantasising about cows at the moment Jac, after your vegan July. I suggest you talk to Allister Lugsdin about alternative meat sources before he goes out of business. Or was it ‘beefcake’ that was on the menu? Rainer looks tasty

Thanks Shelley. I always considered my nose to be my best asset.
