Heavy cloud cover obscured the eclipse but the sky darkened during totality. The totality in Toronto was supposed to be 99.95%.
i wasn't quite close enough to be in the path for the total solar eclipse in north america today, so i lowered my expectations - as well as my lens - and spent most of the time exploring one of the phenomena that struck me so much in 2017 - the dancing projections everywhere of the eclipsed sun through the leaves of the trees around me
this was probably my favorite shot of a comp that i was drawn to & intrigued by several times throughout the afternoon
it's a simple shot of the projection of the sun and moon through a japanese maple tree onto a canvas patio table cover, yet it's more than that - surrealist and abstract, the shapes and movement lead the mind to the possibility of open, subjective interpretation...

GoPro 10 wide field video capturing the moon's umbra shadow looking northeast. The dynamic range was high for the auto exposure of this action camera. However, taking jpegs over video helps improve contrast. Higher clouds casts shadows on the lower clouds as waves. During thr moon's passage, its shadow was much clearer and definite as compared to the direct video. This video was sped up 2x except during totality. Individual frames at 5 sec increments were used.

This short video illustrates my setup for photographing the 2024 full solar eclipse over North America. Just before each photo that I took of the sun with my Olympus (shown on its tripod), I snapped a photo of the solar camera with my Canon which was mounted on a second tripod. I've taken all of those Canon EOS R photos and created this short stop motion animation.
As you can see from the animation, I had to adjust the direction of the Olympus every five minutes to keep the sun centered (more or less) in the frame. The movement of the sun is made apparent by the shifting shadows.
For the photos that make up this short clip, I set the Canon on manual mode, locking the exposure so that the lightening and darkening of the environment with the progression of the eclipse would be apparent. Note that this short video comprises 31 separate photos taken over approximately two hours on the afternoon of April 8th, 2024.
I was fortunate in that my home was located in the path of totality so these images were literally taken in my yard on a virtually cloud free day.
I have posted a few images of the eclipse itself which were taken with the Olympus. Note that the lens on the Olympus was the 100-400mm f/5.0-6.3 and that I used an approved ISO rated solar filter over the front of that lens. I also used an old ball cap as a quick lens cap which I kept over the solar filter between shots.
The Canon camera used to record this clip was setup using the RF24-105 f/4 L and no added filtration as it wasn't ever pointed at the sun directly.
Chestnut Ridge Park, in Orchard Park just outside of Buffalo, NY, turned out to be a good location for witnessing Total Solar Eclipse 2024. On this very overcast day in Western New York there were a few breaks in the cloud cover to see some of the pre- and post-partial eclipse.

This is a composite image composed of images from the beginning of the eclipse, all the way through the end. Canon 5dM3 with Canon 16-35mm @ 16mm f/16 ISO 100 various speeds. Post-processing in LRC, PS, and Topaz Denoise AI.
To save my macular degenerated eyes during the eclipse, I mostly looked down, and wow, the shadow world under our trees had magically changed!
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".
The "diamond" is covering a second, large prominence that was visible during totality.

Right before totality, the ambient light was very dim, then all of a sudden, like someone flipped a switch, the ambient light went out - totality. Looking up in the sky seeing a dark disk with light radiating out. It felt I had been called by the Devine.
This picture came straight out of camera. For some reason the sensor is putting out white and red dots that were seen previously when the shutter speed was low.
The eclipsed sun put on quite a show on Apr 8, 2024. Beginning from totality, the sun sent out several arcs of prominences -- the red color was clearly visible with the naked eyes (at the 3- and 6-o'clock positions).
When this total solar eclipse finally happened, I loved how everyone became united as one - Witnessing this was an amazing experience.
Last week, we headed to Central Texas with Fort Worth Camera to photograph the Total Solar Eclipse and have tacos for lunch. It was a great day!

I knew I had to put the filter back on before the end of totality. Since I wanted my wife to enjoy the experience, I didn't ask her to keep track of time. I thought I still have a minute or so, but I didn't want to take the chance. So this was the last picture taken during totality without the filter.
The solar flares from this picture is a bit different from the previous one. Some media reports this is actually solar prominence, and not solar flares.
UPDATE: It's an APOD!!!

Description:
This is a video recorded during the solar eclipse of April 8th, 2024.
It spans from moments before to moments after the Third Contact of the eclipse.
A dedicated camera (QHY 183C) was used, which allowed for higher frame rate than DSLRs that are typically used for this sort of event, as well as a finer resolution, as this camera has a 2.4-micrometer pixel size and was attached to a telescope with a focal length of 600 mm.
Capture was done from New Boston, Texas, USA
The video was trimmed for the third contact, cropped to highlight the region of the Bailey's beads and diamond ring -- which coincidentally also encompassed the larger prominences -- and stabilized. It was also sped up a little, from ~11 to 15 fps.
There are slight variations in exposure times, as I was alternating between a better visualization of the prominences and the corona when recording.
Summary of equipment used:
Telescope - Skywatcher Evostar 80ED
Camera - QHY 183C
Filter - Optlong L (UV/IR cut) filter
Mount - Celestron NexStar SE

Shot from Warren, Indiana, USA, on 8th of April, using Sony A7SM2, Sigma MC-11 adapter, Canon EF 1.4x extender and Canon 100-400mm lens (at 400mm and f/8).
4K 30 fps, PP7 (S-Log2), ISO1600, in A mode (camera was controlling the shutter speed automatically). No LUT applied, just pushed the reds and sharpness using ffmpeg (also used it to crop from 4K video). Tried to stabilize using ffmpeg commands - both of the 2 available methods failed.
The blurry edge on the bottom and right is a mystery - only Moon's edge is affected (proved by the videos of partial phases after the totality - Sun's edge looks sharp in them, unlike the Moon's edge). Not sure at the moment what's going on here...

The photo on the left was taken just as Totality, as seen from a few miles north of Jackman, Maine, ended.
A prominence is a huge loop of plasma reaching up out of the sun's surface. The two right-hand pictures are 100% pixel resolution crops from the original left-hand picture. Note the little tiny earths superimposed: they are actual size compared to the sun, showing these prominences contain an absolutely incomprehensible amount of material and energy! What an incredible treat to see these structures revealed during the eclipse. You might see a little tiny yellow dot on the earths - that's about how big Maine is...
Photo taken with a Nikon P1000 camera, 2400mm effective focal length at f/8, 1/1000 sec, ISO-100, -2 steps exp. compensation. Only edit was an increase in color saturation.
