For my online tutorials, I scheduled three sessions from which you can pick below, starting this Sunday! They are about one hour long and will cover the basics and most important things to know about planning and photographing lunar eclipses, with Q&A and discussion. All registered attendees can watch the recording offline, in case they can't make the actual live event.

Quick Tip of the Month

Did you know that photographing lunar eclipses is best done by using camera functions that are rarely used by most photographers? I am thinking about using your custom User functions on that top dial, bracketing exposures during totality and using silent shutter as well as the delay timer. All described in my eBook to learn something new.

Night Photo Summit Starts Next Week!

The other exciting event coming up is the Night Photo Summit 2026, the well known online conference for us night owls, from February 13 to 15. There will be more than 40 presenters in 50 sessions, image reviews, parties, a film screening and more. 50-plus hours of night photography education and inspiration.

I was a presenter last year and it is an awesome event. The dates are Friday through Sunday, making easier to watch all of it, but if you sign up, you can watch or rewatch as many times as you wish.

I already put all talks into my calendar and filled all three days. Sign up by using the button below.

Total Lunar Eclipse eBook Updated

If you cannot attend my online tutorials, you can download the updated version of my Lunar Eclipse eBook, which I just released today.

This is a 43-page eBook about lunar eclipses, what they are, how they happen, how we can observe and photograph them, what equipment is needed, what settings to use, depending on where you are and much more.

All chock-full with images and links for more information. This goes much more into detail than my one hour presentations can, and the eBook is 5 pages longer than the 1st revision, and completely updated from front to back. The eBook is discounted by 20% if you purchase it with the online event registration use the buttons above for that).
