So, I've taken moon shots before and have been relatively happy with them, But I have never gotten the moon with foreground trees, decent sun reflected color and a degree of detail on the surface as it set.

I am relatively happy with this one. Boy was it cold! Got up at 5 a.m., shot a few from the bedroom window, then in the huge field next to the house @ 6 a.m., then hopped in the car and went around the corner to a big open field with smaller treeline. This picture is from there, taken @ 6:45 during the eclipse phase which, of course, I knew we would not see much of (upper left portion). But, I finally got the blood moon colors, so yay me, right?

I walked to a bridge and beyond trying to get that shot, but the moon was below the horizon when it turned blood red. I did get a progression of shots, many with the tree limbs but envy you and your picture. EARTH: let me guess; you're much further north if it was that cold. It was tolerable here as we say in Texas.

Almost single digits! We’ve had worse, but when my fingers freeze managing the lens, camera and tripod controls thinks get tricky for me.

My son shoots for NFL Films and is in Minneapolis now preparing to document the Bart Starr award program. He was shooting a playoff game in the NE when the temperature was what you were experiencing when he realized it was twenty degrees warmer than the year before when he had had a few problems with keeping the camera working.
