It was nice having a day where everyone looked up and saw something happening bigger than themselves. We should all try do it more often and not wait until next eclipse.
Episodes from the 2017 total solar eclipse, as seen from near Ravenna, Nebraska, in the center of the path of totality. An hour and a half sequence of images taken on August 21st, 2017, starting about noon CST.
The total solar eclipse from first contact, through totality, through last contact. Taken from Farewell Bend State Park, OR on August 21, 2017.
Legend has it that an eclipse, like a comet, foretells bad luck for someone, somewhere. Not for me since I had the good luck to live in a sunny place just outside the zone of totality. :)

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.
While everyone else was looking up, I tried looking down! Multiple images of the partial solar eclipse (about 90%) projected on the road through leafy trees.
My son took this picture. The shadow under the tree is all in quarter sun shape! Our eclipse here in Tampa Bay, FL was at 80%.
Today was Eclipse day in North America. I am located along the the Gulf Coast in NW Florida. In this area we only had about 82%. I was on the grounds of Fort Pickens near the Pensacola Pass in Florida. It was still fun to photograph. Captured this image at 1:18 PM just before the clouds rolled in. Shot with the Sony A7RM2 using the Sony FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM along with the 1.4 Teleconveter. Used ND Filters equal to 16 stop (stacked). 1/5 sec at F5.6 ISO 50. Soon I will post a sequence of shots as the Eclipse occurred. It was exciting. Now I wish I had seen the full Totality.
71% Eclipse over Long Island, New York. The lack of a filter helped to create this interesting effect.

Camped in Madras, Oregon.
Taken with Takahashi FC-100DF Flourite APO 100mm Refractor with FC-76D flattener & Canon 6D - 770mm F/7.7

Sequence of photos taken from Kimberly, OR during the August 21st, 2017 eclipse. This is not a scientifically accurate view of the progression since the images have been rotated such that they fit together nicely for this presentation. All photos were taken using a Nikkor 500mm mirror lens on a D5500. The center three images are unfiltered and the others were taken through a makeshift mylar solar filter.
Peace Out
I almost hate you
But it's all moving further away in the cloud now
That silly cell phone video of you
Sitting on the counter with your slanted bob cut
Boastfully spilling your Absolut-and-orange-juice guts
And singing "Pumped Up Kicks"
We laughed hard back then
But then you hurt him hard
The humor waned to zero
And I almost hate you

Melody views the 2017 eclipse as the moon starts to cover the sun. Taken near the centerline between Long Creek and Mt Vernon Oregon near the center of the state.

The 2017 eclipse from a very clouded over northern Minnesota. Outside the path of totality.
Lens: Olympus OM 200mm f/5 at small aperture (f/11 to f/22, don't recall)
It was an amazing experience! The temperature went down, the crickets were singing, and it was dark. The light surrounding us was totally different; somewhat ominous. I have never experienced something like this before!
I was able to get 11 decent shots using the Pansonic Lumix GX85. Shot with the 14-140mm lens, full telephoto, hand held.
There were some strong flares at "12, 2, and 4 o'clock" on the disc. The first image has some strong flare on the lower left, which is probably a little bit left of the solar disk in the earlier phase.
Image processed with GIMP.
As the total eclipse ends, at a moment known as Contact 3, a very small part of the sun breaks through to create the appearance of a diamond ring for a few seconds. This was photographed in Nashville, TN. Not the best photo you'll see on the internet, but it will do with the equipment I have. Canon 50D with the 55-250mm kit lens.
