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.
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 shot this in 2008 and at that time, I posted a different version to my photostream. Today, for some mysterious reason, my son requested a copy of the image. When I saw it, I thought it might work well as a square. So that's what I did (along with some minor massaging).
Eclipse de lune 16 juillet 2019. Assemblage de 5 images à des expos différentes. Megrez 72 et EOS 760d.
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!
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.

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.
This ominous Picture of the Week shows our very own Moon undergoing a total lunar eclipse. The image was taken on the night of May 15 2022 from ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth is positioned directly between the Sun and the Moon, blocking some of the Sun’s light. This casts a shadow across the Moon’s surface.
The red colour is caused by the Sun’s rays interacting with the Earth’s atmosphere. Light from the Sun contains a whole spectrum of colours. Blue light is dispersed by the atmosphere through a process called Rayleigh scattering (which makes the sky blue) while red light can pass through the atmosphere more easily, becoming slightly deflected. This red light reaches the Moon’s surface, giving rise to its dramatic crimson hue.
This photo was taken during the eclipse’s totality, when the Earth is causing the largest blockage of the Sun’s light. It was taken by two ESO colleagues at Paranal Observatory using an amateur telescope nicknamed “UT5” as a nod to its much larger siblings, the four 8-m Unit Telescopes at ESO’s Very Large Telescope. Fun fact: astronomers often take spectra of lunar eclipses to understand the signatures that life can leave on Earth’s atmosphere, which is a very useful reference when searching for similar signatures in exoplanets.

I had the best intention of paying attention to the solar eclipse, but I just couldn't help myself. What can I say? This flower was brighter than the sun!
So... my horoscope said: "That moment when the Sun is eclipsed will be your moment of introspection as you prepare for a big change. Once that passes, prepare to be amazed. This is a time of letting that light shine, and figuring out where you really belong, and who you belong to. Hint: You belong to the ones that make you feel like you shine in their world.
The New Moon and solar eclipse in Fixed Fire Sign Leo is all about being ready for the big change that is coming. You can′t stop it from happening. And it′s nothing to fear. That′s because this one, like every other transit, is all about ensuring your success. It′s your time to shine, baby! Expect the unexpected. Make those New Moon wishes count. This one could be the biggest new beginning of your life."
Ok, yes, please. I am ready for the biggest new beginning of my life. I am ready to be amazed. Today was one bad thing after another (well ...except for the eclipse... I did get to see it and I did have solar glasses, so I still have my eyesight... all good!) Other than that...everything sucked and yesterday was pretty much the same. So ... bring it on.... amaze me!! PLeeeeZe!!!
(I brought my camera, but had no intention of trying to photograph the eclipse... I can't even get a shot of the moon...so I decided I would leave that to the experts... and better photographers. This is an iPhone photo from Jenny Jump State Park's observatory... where volunteers let you look through solar eclipse binoculars and telescopes. It was an awesome place to be... the only bright spot in the day (even with the sun being eclipsed!!) ; )
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.
Yesterday, I and my family traveled north and west in Maine to see a total eclipse of the sun. We intended to go into the town of Greenville about 2 hours and 20 minutes away under normal conditions. We never actually got there as about 12 or so miles from the town the traffic slowed to about 3 miles per hour. We decided to explore a small road that led through a rural area. It took awhile but we found a more or less perfect place with a few other people all parked along the road in the small community of Blanchard. It had a couple of large open fields on one side and a cemetery on the other. It was warm and not a cloud in the sky. The totality lasted about 3.5 minutes. I had not intended to try to photograph the sun but at the last minute decided to just take a series of photos by quickly going through a set of camera settings. I took of the eye protection and enjoyed the rest of the show with a couple more photos toward the horizon. Only when I got back last evening and was able to see the exposures was I able to see this and other images. I used Topaz to double the size and to remove noise. A few basic adjustments in Lightroom were done. I will probably work one this and a couple others. There are many options available. The two red shapes in the corona are solar prominences as described below. I thing the red dot on the right is noise as it is not in other exposures.
In solar physics, a prominence, sometimes referred to as a filament, is a large plasma and magnetic field structure extending outward from the Sun's surface, often in a loop shape. Prominences are anchored to the Sun's surface in the photosphere, and extend outwards into the solar corona. While the corona consists of extremely hot plasma, prominences contain much cooler plasma, similar in composition to that of the chromosphere.
Prominences form over timescales of about a day and may persist in the corona for several weeks or months, looping hundreds of thousands of kilometers into space. Some prominences may give rise to coronal mass ejections. Scientists are currently researching how and why prominences are formed. [Wikipedia]
Partial lunar eclipse in the evening sky over the Hokkaido University campus, Sapporo.
Camera: Canon PowerShot G12.
Edited with Adobe Photoshop.
Always have your camera on manual and "chimp" the shot. My D600 was WAY over exposing the shot with too much noise and making it a longer exposure
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 :)
Seen from nearly 11,200' on top of Hardscrabble Mountain in Eagle, CO.
Such a beautiful thing to witness.
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
