I had 2 cameras set up. One doing a wide shot every 60 seconds with an old mill in the foreground and a long lens for the close ups that I was shooting every couple of minutes.
It was a bit of guess work really. The wide shot didn't turn out as well as I thought it would. I was a bit too wide, which meant the moon looks really small in the shots. I have strung about 20 together to see if the moon timeline type of shot works ok, and it does to a certain extent, but it looks too small. That's just experience though. Next time I think I would leave out the long shots, set up a timer with a longer focal length to foreshorten the distance and make the moon look larger and then maybe wander a bit with another lens to try and get a building foreground type shot.
I agree that I also saw a lot that looked very faked. The moon was big but not THAT big! I even saw one where someone had shopped the blood moon over a sea sunset! Needless to say it had loads of 'woo that's an amazing shot' replies and only a handful of 'err... you know that's shopped don't you'.
We get another lunar eclipse in 2019 so I'll have another try then!
