Any idea where would be a good place to shoot this eclipse?
Will Marina Barrage be ideal?
You can mix the eclipse with a scenic foreground. It can be a building of significance, i.e. a mix of urban life and nature.

Here is an example:

Well, he will definitely appreciate it if you say it to him :) (read: add him as a friend at Facebook.)

Good luck with your shot this coming Friday!

Can a lunar eclipse be seen during daylight hours? Is it possible to be anywhere on the planet, witness a lunar eclipse, and experience daylight at the same time?

Interesting. If the lunar eclipse you refer to happens on Earth and in a solar system with just one sun, then you won't get to have both sun and moon exist simultaneously.

Lunar eclipse happens when the sun, earth and moon lines up such that the earth's shadow casted by the sun covers up the moon. In other words, moon light is gone for this period since the earth blocks the sun. And, this phenomenon is only observable on the night side of the earth.

Does it make sense?
Clear skies,
Robin.
