Solar Flares . . .
. . . An on-line source told me that I should vary my shutter speeds during totality to see the different parts of the sun's corona and atmospheres. So as soon as totality began, I quickly removed my solar filter and started using longer and longer speeds.
This shot where the corona is almost all black shows an amazing detail, the solar flares in pink/red at about 3 O'Clock and 5 O'Clock on the disk. And to think each of these prominences is shooting very hot material out into space perhaps 5-10 diameters of the earth!
The experience of Totality has been a humbling and educational experience for me, and I want to thank everyone for all of the Comments and Likes on my series of pictures! Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
