8-12 eva: dappled by the eclipse

While most people were dazzled by the eclipse, Eva was more dappled by it.

 

A bit of a different take on an eclipse photo. When reading about how to safely view an eclipse I came across an article that recommended weaving your fingers together then allowing a small amount of light through so that each of your finger web space intersections could act like an individual pinhole projector, similar to how dappled light coming through a tree is made up of individual circles because of many tiny pin-hole like interfaces between the leaves. Then during the eclipse I notices the very cool pattern to the dappled light which changed with how much or little of the sun was shaded. Perfect time for a portrait with Eva.

 

Although there is catch-light in her left eye, I can assure you that she was not looking directly into the sun, as I had a handful of cheerios beside my lens to keep her attention on me.
