Partial Phase of Eclipse 14 Oct 2023
I planned everything. When I saw the path of the eclipse, I envisioned a sequential shot of the annular eclipse starting just as the sun cleared the edge of Mount Thielsen in Oregon. I found the perfect location just north of Crater Lake National Park to get it lined up. I just couldn't schedule clear skies. This was the only shot of the sun I got through the entire duration of the eclipse. Oh well, I gave it a good try...
The overall orange color is from the solar filter I used. During solar viewing without clouds it gives the sun a more natural color. But when the sun (even when partially eclipsed) illuminates clouds they pick up the same color if they're bright enough to make it through the filter. Kind of weird looking, but also kind of cool. However, it definitely didn't look this way when glancing directly at the sky.
