Solar Eclipse as viewed from PA through cloud cover. This was using a 10 stop ND filter (which would not have been enough if not for the perfect level of cloud cover)
The Deschutes is flowing at 7,063 cubic feet per second. In the 25 seconds that the shutter was open, roughly 177,000 cubic feet of water went by.
Eclipse 2017 Cincinnati Ohio. Yes this is the eclipse. It was taken as a reflection off my polarized lens. that’s why the sun looks blue and the weird color in the clouds. I wasn’t going to shoot the eclipse since it was only 91% in Cincinnati but I was out and improvised at the last minute.

The four blurry patches in the middle lower part of the sun are sunspots. There are two more in the upper left and I believe the black dot at the top of the sun is a satellite.
The light patch on the right is a second image of the sun projected though a hole in the cardboard surrounding the binoculars.

As the moon covered the sun, the colors in teh sky and the landscape became more and more vivid and saturated.
Next to our RV was a pine tree that cast some nice shadows on the ground. This was taken in the 2nd phase of the eclipse, and you can see some crescents in there.

Cellphone shot of the eclipse, pretty small dot in the sky but it captures the essence of what we were actually seeing - not just the moon and corona but the whole sky, darkened.

The eclipse in Albuquerque. However, I didn't look through the viewfinder.

There was a surprising amount of light pollution from Casper, WY nearby, so I had to process this photo a bit to increase the contrast. I really look forward to shooting the Milky Way somewhere more remote one day. :)
On Monday, August 21, 2017, millions of people across the United States will get to see one of nature’s most awe-inspiring sights -- a total solar eclipse. With wide-open spaces and low light pollution, public lands in the path of totality, managed by the Bureau of Land Management in Oregon, Idaho and Wyoming will be popular places for viewing this rare event.
Wherever you are planning to experience the Great American Eclipse we'd like to feature, "what does the eclipse mean to you" or "where were you during the eclipse". See the example here from our BLM California State Director, Jerry Perez.
