Total Eclipse Sequence

This was the sequence of the total solar eclipse yesterday just near the point of totalilty. I was there with 3 other people and we enjoyed it together - it was awesome! There were also two young couples who drove all the way from New Hampshire and they stationed themselves close by us. All of us chatted and had a good time during the eclipse. There were a few small clouds that wandered through, but were gone by the time the eclipse reached totality.

 

Taken on August 21st, 2017, with my Sony Alpha SLT-a77v DSLR. For the lens, I used a Minolta 2X adapter and an old Minolta MD-Mount Super Paragon PMC II Auto Tele Zoom 80-200mm lens. It turned out to be the equivalent of a 1200mm focal length. When I finish the roll of film I shot concurrently and develop it, I'll bet they turn out even better.
