Annular eclipses are usually depicted with a black sky background. This is not what is observed the sky is a darker blue, kind of a bright darkness. The Moon is black dark being a new Moon and the sky is too bright to see reflected Earthlight illuminating the Moon, exposures being too short.. Next annular is June 10 2021 over Canada.
A similar representation of a total eclipse from Chile in 2019, again changing the black background to something more realistic as seen: flic.kr/p/2gRDiBZ
The HDR version (High Dynamic Range) of the 2017 Eclipse. You can see the features of the moon and the star Regulus (lower left). captured August 21, 2017.
2017 Solar eclipse taken from Jackson Wyoming with a Nikon 500mm f/4 lens and a 2x teleconverter on a Sony A7RII.
Lacking any appropriate equipment, I tried to combine the partially eclipsed sun to some significant surface landmark
Total eclipse happened over our heads but entirely hidden behind the clouds. We caught a few fleeting glimpses of the partial after the fact.
Each sun is about 10 minutes apart with the exception of the center 3 which all happened in a little over 1 minute
The total lunar eclipse as seen from my upstairs deck. This is just short of totality because the moon was beginning to set behind the trees, and my feet were getting cold. For all the early rising photographers out there, I did make it up before dawn this one time.
Focus could be better, but manual focus with old eyes, on a dim object gives results like this :-)
I already foresee many possibilities for this image next Halloween.
The moon is just emerging from its lunar eclipse totality over the cliffs near Frenchman Coulee, near Vantage, WA.
In preparation for the Eclipse, I have been taking some shots of the sun with my lee Big Stopper ND filter with my 400mm 5.6 lens and a 1.4 extender. Getting some welding glass because I don't want to damage the sensor from these shots. This shot seemed to be fine though with ISO 100, f/32, and a shutter speed of 1/8000 of a second on my Canon 5D mark iv. Notice the sunspots on the upper righthand corner. Lee Filter's Big Stopper tends to give off a bluish tint, so I warmed up the colors to give the sun a more orange-yellow tone.
“September’s night sky gave us a cosmic performance—Earth’s shadow sliding across the Moon in a partial eclipse. Captured from Johannesburg, where the Highveld stars watched in silence.
Look at your windows in step out of your doors and gentlemen! Here tonight we have a very rare lunar eclipse. This type of eclipse only happens once every 30 years, due to the fact that the moon is full, and, it is closer to the earth. The moon is larger by about 15%, and so this lunar eclipse is very unique.
One for the archives. A stunning event to witness, but a difficult one to photograph. Only another 11 years until the next UK eclipse.

I used a tripod. I bracketed. I still didn't get the photos I wanted, but I was delighted that for the most part the clouds stayed away, and when they didn't, they put on a spectacular show of their own. I had as much fun looking at this beautiful eclipse through my binoculars as I did through my lens.

For those who still don’t know why their view count is down, perhaps way down, the reason is explained and discussed here. One day Flickr staff may figure out the solution, but I’m not holding my breath. All I know is that my view count is way down (perhaps by 60 or 70 percent), and the hits I get are often for much older photos in my stream.
