View from Cebu, Philippines of the partial lunar eclipse which took place at sunset on June 26th 2010.
Some partial shading can be seen on the lower left side of the moon as the earths shadow moved across it. The moon also took on a reddish tinge.
Unfortunately, the moon moved behind some clouds a couple of minutes after I took this shot preventing a better view of the peak of the partial eclipse.

I am still working on trying to better capture shade and forest depth with this camera. This picture was my first attempt. I was in the Colorado State Forest elk hunting and saw the dappled shade and decided to see what type of picture resulted.

Description:
Widespread concern about the sustainability of clearcut regeneration systems has led to the increased use of partial retention systems in British Columbia. In particular, uncertainty surrounds the relative performance of tree species of different shade tolerance, prompting increasing interest in seedling response to a range of light environments. Even more uncertainty surrounds our understanding of the development of trees in partially cut stands infected with the root diseases, Armillaria ostoyae (Romagnesi) and Inontus tomentosus (Fr.Fr) S. Teng. We compared light retention (25% of the original basal area), heavy retention (50% of the original basal area) and clearcut treatments at two sites. A root removal technique (pushover falling) was used for root disease mitigation. Light levels were measured using hemispherical photography. Growth rate increased as the level of canopy openness increased, but did not vary among species differing in shade tolerance. The root removal treatment, by contrast, had no effect on seedling survival after 5 years. Development and expression of the root diseases over the longer term may alter these results. Our findings demonstrate that a variety of partial retention systems can be used to regenerate mixed species forests in the Interior Cedar Hemlock zone.
