Solar eclipse in the path of totality, over Tennessee.
I just had surgery, so I didn't do a lot to prepare for the eclipse. I recently sold my D700 and sigma 70-200 to fund the purchase of the D610, so the longest lens I had was my sigma 105 2.8 macro. I used that on the d610, mounted on a cheap tripod, with a circular polarizing filter stacked with an 8x ND filter (they didn't fit the lens so I used band-aids from my purse to hold them in place). I did have to do some cropping, but of the few I took, I got some I am happy with. I only did some minor tweaks in ACR (of the few I made adjustments to). I don't really plan on printing any large format prints, so these will serve well for the family memory books.
