Yesterday, on June 15, 2011, I heard the news that the total lunar eclipse will occur on June 16, 2011 early morning, in my home area, precisely in Jakarta, Indonesia. I certainly do not want to miss this opportunity. At around 1 am, I’ve set up my camera and my tripod on my backyard to welcome the arrival of a total lunar eclipse. I waited about 2 hours and finally…. Around 3 am, the total lunar eclipse appeared. Without waiting longer, I immediately hit my camera shutter button. The total lunar eclipse was visible only around 5 to 10 minutes, then disappeared. Luckily, I could get some pictures of the lunar eclipse, and this is the best photo that I got.
