This was my very first time experiencing a lunar eclipse, and the sight of Earth's shadow slowly creeping across the Moon's face was nothing short of awe-inspiring. While I couldn't achieve a more comprehensive capture due to space and angle constraints, the resulting image still offers a beautiful glimpse into this celestial dance.
