Below is the series of photos I took last June 16, 2011 of what was dubbed as the Longest Lunar eclipse in a decade. The earth's shadow started covering the moon at around 2:22 am in our local time. Taken above a three story building using a Canon Powershot SX1 IS camera.

I changed settings to view the moon in its red hue 3:25am

At 3:29am there was so little light that my camera could not focus anymore

View of the night sky at 4:44am

at 5:06 am the moon started to move away from earth's shadow

My last shot before the moon was completely covered by the clouds on the horizon at 5:10 am
