Eclipse Ellipse
Using a jerry-rigged lens hood with one-half-a-pair of eclipse glasses taped over it, I found (back in 2017) that it was possible to get pretty decent eclipse photos with my Nikon.
This year, I decided to take a more thought-out series of photos from beginning to end, in the hopes of creating something along the lines of the image shown here.
I took photos roughly every ten minutes, and ended up with a decent number of "phases" to work with. Fredericksburg, Virginia, got about 88% totality, which left the sun as a very thin crescent at the peak.
I think it's a much more fun record of this eclipse than my handful of images from 2017.
