As Don MacLean said...
On that hot summer day
She blew me away
In a total eclipse of the sun
Today I was fortunate to be able to capture the solar eclipse from my own front yard.
44.36341700357539, -76.12117286160881
This image is 19 seconds past maximum
600mm, 10,000 ND filter, totality filterless
When magnified you will notice several solar flares
All the best shots in one sequence. Sun was lost to the clouds shortly after the eclipse hence the incomplete sequence. There was persistent cloud cover which caused lots of diffusion.
Shot on Nikon D7500 - 300mm
A closeup of Baily's Beads and solar prominences as the sun was reappearing right after totality.
Traveled to Jackson, Missouri to see the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse. It was spectacular! I saw the last one from Nebraska in 2017 and immediately started making plans to see this one. The temperature dropped from 75 down to around 65 and we all had goosebumps! Such a surreal experience to be able to see a few stars and planets during the middle of the day, and to be able to actually see a red glowing solar prominence with my own eyes without special glasses.
All taken with my Sony a6000 through my Celestron 8" telescope at 1260mm or the wide shot with a 55mm lens.
Telescope: Takahashi FSQ-85ED
Focal Length: 450mm
Aperture: 85mm
F/ratio: f/5.3
Camera:
Nikon Z6 - astronomy modified (higher IR cutoff for increased red sensitivity)
Takahashi Nikon adapter coupled with Nikon FTZ II.
It was clear day in Northern California for the eclipse, but we only got a maximum of 34% coverage of the sun.
Photos were taken approximately 10 minutes apart. There was some variation because I was trying to work during the eclipse.

I travelled to Dallas to visit some immediate and extended family to view the eclipse. The forecast had been iffy leading up to it, but a couple blocks from my uncle's house we lucked out and got some unobstructed totality. We only had about 2 and a half minutes of totality (some of that with some wispy clouds in the way), and in that length of time I had to rapidly figure out a few good compositions and exposures for a completely new shooting experience. This shot is really as good as I could have hoped for, sharply capturing all the main elements of a total solar eclipse in one frame: nice coronal structure, a bit of "diamond ring", Bailey's beads, and a few prominences. You can even see the magnetic field lines in the corona around some of the prominences!

I had originally planned to travel to Austin, Texas to view the solar eclipse, but as the weather predictions kept getting worse with a high chance of cloud coverage, I ended up changing my plans and headed to Maine instead as the weather looked more promising there.
After following a news weather van, I came across the beautiful town of Houlton, Maine. This was a town that had a festival celebrating the solar eclipse. Watching the eclipse was such a cool experience and I'm glad that I found this beautiful town full of enthusiastic people to enjoy the moment with.
This picture is of the diamond ring (or bead) effect during the solar eclipse.
Totality Eclipse 2024......(EXPLORED)
The clouds completely obscured the most talked about cele3stial event of my lifetime, I had never witnessed a total solar eclipse and this was the opportunity of a lifetime for me.
The disappointment was palpable and I was a little saddened as I knew I may never have this opportunity to photograph it again.
I had started packing up when I noticed the sun had found an opening... so I snapped a few quick shots I kept shooting but without the solar filter that I had bought for the event. I was a little concerned that i may be looking directly at the sun but it didn't seem all that bright. and several days later I have no signs of eye fatigue or pain.
I ended up only getting two or three usable images as the clouds were constantly blocking my view. I will post a few more later.

I returned from Japan April 7th feeling like absolute trash. I hadn't slept at all on the flight, stomach issues, called out from work, the whole 9 yards. There was no way I was gonna make the eclipse on the 8th feeling like I did.
Except that my friend told me I couldn't miss it and drove me there. All I had to do was nap in the car on the trip up to Vermont, grab this shot, and then nap more on the way back. Pretty sweet deal.
Photo taken on a DJI Mini 3. I basically grabbed initial totality, grabbed the end of totality, and then when we were at about 99% took the landscape to composite in.

A blending of 5 images taken in succession at the beginning of totality. Canon 5DM4 with Tamron 150-600mm G2 @ 600mm f/6.3 ISO 400 1/2500s 1/1000s 1/400s 1/160s 1/60s. Post-processing in LRC, PS, and Topaz Denoise AI.
Some clouds moved in towards the end of totality.
Taken at 3:19 in Oakville, Ontario.
It was quite an experience.
Total solar eclipse from Maple Falls, Texas. We had lots of clouds and could not see the start of totality, but did get about one minute of totality in patches, when the clouds thinned, over the approximately 4.5 minutes duration. The clouds added some "atmosphere".
This was shot with an ND100000 solar filter.
As goes rail photography, so goes solar eclipse photography, at least in my personal case. Although the forecast called for clear skies in my area, the clouds were numerous and relentless throughout most of the afternoon. In the end, I suppose I came away with some unique, surreal views of the celestial event.

Shot with a 1.4 teleconverter and 9-stop ND filter.

A composite of 7 images from the 8 April solar eclipse.
In Mt. Pleasant, MI, several hundred miles north of the path of totality, this was the peak of the 2024 total solar eclipse.
Silvi and Marisol came to Searcy, Arkansas with us to visit family and share the totality of the solar eclipse at Steprock. “Mama! Why do we have to wear these dark glasses?” Silvi asked? “Are you gonna put on dark glasses, Mama?” Marisol asked. “Yes, dear little bears! We shall all wear dark glasses so we can look at the sun. And don’t be worried- it will get dark as night because the moon will come between us and the sun, but it won’t last long! I am going to take a video of you two watching the eclipse because it is a historical event that we will be lucky to see! One day you will show it to your grandbears!” Silvi giggled. “May I get a boyfriend before you are thinking of grandbears, Mama?!” “Oh of Course! That was just to say it will be cool to have it for later. Now put your glasses on and keep watch for the moon moving across the sun! It already looks like the Cookie Minster has taken a bite out of the sun!” Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday, everybear and everybody!
Under heavily overcast skies just north of Del Rio, Texas, a break in the clouds just 25 seconds before 3rd contact revealed totality along with several large bright prominences and the crimson red chromosphere. Winds were gusty and not good for super telphoto lenses.

While Jake and Elwood Blues are always ready to view an eclipse, their friends had to find some stylish eye protection and lean back to enjoy the big show in the heavens.
