NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla -- Surfer and wildlife photographer Kem McNair got the picture-perfect shot of the blood moon Sunday night near the beach.
Central Floridians like McNair were checking to see the moon, earth and sun lined up to create an eclipse, which was visible throughout North and South America, where skies were clear. It was also the year's first super moon when a full moon appears a little bigger and brighter.
"Blood moon just before total eclipse," McNair posted matter of fact on his Facebook page, along with two gorgeous pics of the blood moon. For other locals, getting that perfect shot was just not in the (astrology) cards so to speak.

"Trying to take photos of the super blood wolf moon in the cold -- iPhone does not like gloves," groused Rosemary Calhoun of Ormond Beach, who captured what appeared to be a blur.
Port Orange Mayor Don Burnette, was ecstatic with his shot, which was an elongated blur with what appeared to be his smudged fingerprints in the background. And Rosa Campbell of Deltona was on Facebook Live last night, her moon shot bouncing up and down like a yo-yo.
"I'm not going to be out here for an hour like this," Campbell remarked. "It's cold out here.
