Diamond Ring

I am adding "excellent multitasker" to my resume after shooting the April 8th 2024 eclipse with my drone and DSLR simultaneously.

 

Now, while the drone got most of my attention, I did manage to capture something I did not get during the 2017 eclipse- these solar prominences. Those cool magenta flares are probably big enough to encompass the whole earth. It felt like a diamond ring flanked by rubies. Anyone reading this who did not see it in person- those colors were in fact visible to the naked eye when I saw it in person. No telescope needed!
