Unlike last year’s submissions, when I challenged myself to triple alliterations and puns, this year I simply tried to make a quadrant kaleidoscopes out of each picture from last year. It worked for all but 2 of last year’s photos, so I found 2 new subjects.

The shot above was an unexpected treat that I captured while photographing the solar eclipse of May 20, 2012 -- Baily’s Beads!
Baily's Beads are the tiny beads of light seen in the upper left quadrant of this photo. This happens at 2nd and 3rd contact (this shot is 3rd contact - the point where the moon begins to leave the sun). The sunlight filters through the mountains and valleys of the moon, creating beads of light between lunar mountains. There is a phenomenon called the Diamond Ring effect that happens when only one bead remains.
I knew about these from my research but never really thought that I would capture them with my simple setup. But, I did.
I will be posting more images in the coming weeks as I sort through them and create the composites needed to show off the eclipse. I captured over a hundred shots from first contact to sunset and then a few more.
More later - stay tuned!
One last thing - I have been very busy lately getting ready for this series and have not been posting comments. I shall catch up, eventually - bear with me, if you can.

c. Location: Boot Mesa: g.co/maps/8chfb, shot from Hwy 163 east of the mesa about four miles.
Process:
Nikon D200, 300mm, 1/8sec, spot metering, manual focus, ISO 400, f/11, 62T solar filter(b). Minor adjustments in Adobe Photoshop Elements: (a) cropping, (b) resample, (c) minimal level adjustments.
Observations:
1. “Expect The Unexpected” - sums up this shot quite well. I should have simply captured images every 5 seconds or so during the Second Contact and Third Contact. But, not thinking I could achieve the capture, I didn’t try.
2. Without the eclipse, the exposure using my solar filter is about 1/80th sec at f/11 at ISO 100. The drop in overall brightness due to the eclipse was, at this point in time, about 40 to 1 - about 5 1/3 stops. I kept aperture fixed at f/11 during the entire shoot. I used ISO for exposure compensation once the exposure time got near or below 1/10th second. Otherwise, using a fixed ISO would cause edge bluring as the exposure times dropped.
3. The filter is reported to have a filter ratio of 1/1000th of 1 percent. This is very high (20 stops) and, by design, brings the exposure settings from unreal levels of f/a-billion and 1/a-billion sec expsoure into the realm of reality.

Probably one of the most photographed buildings in the world. This truly magnificent and beautiful building leaves anyone who is priviledged to visit it, absolutely astounded. The Taj Mahal was built on the banks of the river Yamuna, between 1631 and 1643, by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (reigned 1628-58) as a mausoleum for his beloved wife Arjumand Banu Begum, who was also known by the title Mumtaz Mahal. Built of white marble inlaid with precious stones, the mausoleum is square in plan and surmounted by a bulbous dome. It stands on a plinth with a minaret at each of the four corners, sited at the northern end of enclosed formal gardens of the Persian ‘char bagh’ form where a square garden is divided equally into four smaller quadrants.
