Blood moon fully eclipsed. First try at this. Pleased with the results. Took 60+ shots with varying technical adjustments and intervals. Almost gave up in the beginning as I just wasn’t able to capture the colors.
Yesterday's Eclipse (3 of 3) This is several minutes after the eclipse began; the entire process took about 2 hours.

My little village lies in the path of totality of the impending solar eclipse. The concept as been largely theoretical for the past few years. But with the eclipse now just one week away, the reality is setting in. The immediate concern is for the weather and the hopes for clear skies. Can only imagine the collective disappointment of potentially millions of people if such a spectacular heavenly moment is blotted out by overcast skies. But whether or not the sun is actually visible on earth, the eclipse will still occur. And in the oath of totality, day will turn to night for approximately three minutes.
I've read up on all of the science behind the eclipse. But honestly what enthralls me even more is the astrological significance. Total eclipses in particular tend to delineate major inflection points in life. There is the time before the eclipse, and the time after. The eclipse itself forms the bridge between the two realms. But it's a bridge that burns up as you cross it. You make it safely across, but can never return. Not sure how that will play out on the world stage; sometimes the impact is not realized except in retrospect. Good or bad, it's the sense of finality that causes me some apprehension. And being in the path of totality only heightens the effect.
Nothing metaphorical about the recent collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore. The timing of this is especially jarring.
The beginning phases of the Lunar Eclipse on 4/14/14. Taken on a night shoot with Hugo Gonzalez, and Emily Ulsh.
I drove upto San Francisco yesterday afternoon after work and had all my gear with me so I went to the Marin Headlands and found the moon in full lunar eclipse coming over the city.
Due to outraged fan requests I have placed a hidden link to the larger version of this photo somewhere in this sentance.
We are up in Donegal for a few days. Seemed good to be so far West for the partial eclipse this morning - we were to get to see 46% of the sun disc being obscured. So a bit more than we would have seen at home and a lot more than folk in England or Scotland could expect to see.
but weather in Donegal can be a barrier to most activities. ..and so was the case today. There was no sun to see and without a compass I would not have been able to say even in what general direction it was!
continuous rain most of the morning. It was quite dull for 11am but if I hadnt known about the eclipse, I would have assumed that the dullness was caused by the cloud alone.
anyway this is what Teelin bay and harbour looked like around peak eclipse, with camera pointing roughly in the predicted direction of the sun.
The Stranglers - Always The Sun
Solar Eclipse photographed in Montreal on April 8, 2024. Base photo taken at 3:39 pm during totality.
Notice the 22 degrees Halo around the sun formed due to refraction from hexagonal ice crystals in atmosphere. Colors and atmosphere turned strange during totality, as captured in this photo.

Partial solar eclipse photographed through a piece of exposed film handheld in front of the lens. It created this strange optical effect.

Started tis work in India in 2013. Have been carrying arount to Hungary then to Scotland. Today I thought of touching it up and now I call it finished.
So far my favorite of my shots of today's eclipse. Seeing two sunspots and the texture of the sun's surface is very cool. Never mind the big shadow of the moon!
This is the partial eclipse of 1999, when light cloud made photography possible - it was too bright here this morning to risk anything similar!
Eclipse on Bredon Hill.
In the darkness before the dawn
they climbed the track from the villages
beneath the hill to the land’s rim.
Seated on straw bales on creaking carts,
in the morning’s chill, in expectation of a sight
to remember all their lives.
Waiting for the ending of the night,
quietly they sat, regretting warm beds, until the growing light
falling on field and hedge awoke the birds,
greeting with song the rising sun,
golden, above the valley’s edge.
Then the moon passed, eating away the sun’s gleam,
and the people and the birds fell silent.
Slowly the light faded until the dark moon
hid the sun from view:
a perfect fit, leaving only a shining halo.
Then a glowing arc appeared,
the people breathed again, and as the day returned
the birds once more began their morning song.
On this same hill we waited, watching
the wind-swept sky, catching a glimpse of sun,
the pale circle already partly hidden by the black moon.
Our eyes followed the racing clouds
so the sun reappeared in an unexpected place.
Then the darkness rose from the valley and the sight was lost.
We walked on, passing the place
where the people gathered so long ago.
Later, the clouds thinned again and the sun returned,
two-horned, like a strange version of the moon itself,
waning, upon its back.
The time of omen, of ambiguity, passed.
as the eclipse drew to its end
the sky once more was grey and overcast.
We recalled then the people from the past,
on this hill, in the darkness, waiting.
Some who were children then
perhaps, are still alive and remember.

I did not prepare to attempt to shoot the eclipse earlier this week. The atmosphere did not cooperate and cloud cover was thick, splotchy and fast moving. A couple of minutes before I decided to see if the EVF on the Sony A7RII would help me. Using a Nikon to Sony adapter that allowed me to close down the Tamron's aperture coupled with a very fast shutter speed allowed the image in the EVF to be dark enough that I could attempt manually focusing. It was exceedingly difficult, that big Tamron on the small Sony body and no tripod. With the cloud cover changing moment to moment it was a constant battle to keep the exposure useable and then attempt manual focus. As fate would have it, during the peak of 89% coverage here in Chicago, the clouds were completely obscuring the view.

The day after the eclipse, the moon seems to have weathered the experience well as it sets past the hopseed bush on its way toward the Tortolita mountains and the clouds beyond already picking up some dawn color.

Sometimes, the stars, the moon and some light align for an unforgettable night in the far north.
We skied deep into the Brooks Range, well above the Arctic Circle, to witness a stunning lunar eclipse—low on the horizon, just as darkness settled in. I had expected the aurora to overpower the moon, but to my surprise, it didn’t. Then again, if we can see stars behind the aurora, why not the moon? To capture the moment properly, I used a longer focal length and multiple exposures to preserve the moon’s details without blowing the highlights.
And talk about perfect timing—the aurora was dancing throughout the eclipse, but as soon as it ended, the lights quieted down for the rest of the night. We couldn’t have asked for a more magical combination of events.
Have you ever seen the aurora during a lunar eclipse? Or experienced a night in the Arctic that left you speechless? I’d love to hear your stories!
Day 69.
Today the 10 second teaser trailer for Eclipse came out today and TOMORROW the 90 second comes out! Needless to say I am jumping for joy! You simply cannot read this book and NOT smile! It is AMAZING!
Also - RIP Corey Haim. This news is heartbreaking.
The end of totality as the eclipsed Moon rises. Photographed from Brisbane using a 70-200mm telephoto lens. For this Image I took an exposure every 3 minutes, then stacked them together.
Taken at 1:13pm, the 50% maximum coverage we got here. I shot this through a lens from a pair of eclipse glasses on my 300mm lens. I made a lens hood out of black poster board and attached the lens. Small compared to the front of the lens, but when zoomed at 300mm, you aren't seeing through the whole front glass.
Yesterday's practice shot was taken with my dad's old 30 year old 400mm Sigma lens through three sheets of mylar emergency space blanket. It worked, but made the sun blue so I had to fake the color. I found that lens is pretty low contrast so the 100mm extra reach it gave me didn't improve the image even today when I used eclipse glasses on both cameras. I only tried the space blanket because my earlier attempts at using glasses had terrible light leaks and made me think it was too small.
My original plan was to shoot it just using that old lens on a camera I got at the pawn shop for $89 (I wanted the lens it had). But things were seeming safe so I decided to shoot with two cameras.
My expensive camera finally overheated at the end and was causing some very scary errors. I thought I killed it. It was getting close to 100 degrees F in the shade by the time the eclipse was over. I should have known a black camera in the sun would overheat. I often covered the lens when not shooting, but didn't think of the overall temperature. After cooling down, the camera is working again. Don't know why I shot the whole thing, but I couldn't stop. ;-p

A handful of close friends gathered on top of the Jefferson Viaduct to witness a beautiful celestial event this afternoon. Tears, hoots, and hollers were heard echoing up and down the levees. An eerie light crept over the land, the temperature dropped, bugs started sounding, and city lights began twinkling.
You never know how things like this will impact you until you’re in the thick of it. For me personally, it got far darker and moodier than I ever would’ve imagined. Probably my favorite part of all this, and it’s the same as that incredible sunset we had a few Februarys ago, is how these events bring so many people together at once. We need more of that. Thankful to have experienced this with my love, and the homies.
After battling rain/lightning I managed to get a shot of the eclipse here in Michigan! Not the best picture but it tells the story :)
