PERE MARQUETTE TOWNSHIP — Ludington-based photographer Brad Reed, of Todd & Brad Reed Photography, photographed the lunar eclipse early this morning from his home. Reed wrote: “Dubbed the ‘Worm Moon’ by the ‘The Old Farmer’s Almanac’, the lunar eclipse early this morning was phenomenal.”
Reed said he created the image while standing on his front deck.
“The sky was clear and the stars were shinning brightly,” he stated. “I had a family of whitetail deer walk super close to me as I was making this image. It was an experience that will not be forgotten.”
The image was created at 2:48 a.m. with a Nikon D850 single lens reflex camera with an aperture of f6.3, shutter of 1/2 a second and ISO 6400 using a 60-600mm lens at 600mm. The camera was set on a tripod and no flash was used. March 14, 2025 .
The Todd & Brad Reed gallery is located at 114 W. Ludington Ave. in downtown Ludington.
