For the lunar eclipse on April 14/15, I headed up to Donner Peak (8019 ft / 2444 m) in the Sierras. I wanted a location where I could have a view of a big landscape, and also a place where the view wasn’t blocked by tall trees (an issue in the area near my house about an hour away). I wasn’t interested in close-up shots of the moon, but wanted to show the sequence of the eclipse over the landscape where I was viewing it. This is what I had in mind when I set out to shoot the eclipse, though the Donner Summit location was a last minute decision that worked out better than I expected.
