I was drawn farther south into Illinois for two reasons - a local train, and a total solar eclipse. I know everyone and their mother went out for this thing, but it was just the most incredible sight. There really is nothing comparable to totality. The 360 degree sunset, the cool air, darkened skies, and that blacker than black orb in the sky that causes it all. My, what an absolute treat.
I'd initially hoped to frame the eclipse with something, say a locomotive or crossbuck, but I ultimately didn't. Time and place didn't work for that, nor did I have anything I was really inspired by. I'd rather just see the eclipse instead of running around and wasting my four minutes trying to secure a different photo. So, the telephoto lens straight up it was. I'm happy with that - miles better than my last attempt at shooting the 2017 eclipse!
I had just finished shooting CN L588 at Eldorado and decided to head back to Akin Junction, and I wound up viewing the eclipse at Darrel's Snack Shack just outside of the village. Quite the viewing location! A good crowd had formed there but no extreme traffic. Going rural for the viewing was a great choice. I'm so glad I got to experience this eclipse. I ended up getting all I was hoping for when I drove down to southern Illinois - you couldn't ask for a better day!
Hydrogen-alpha shot taken shortly before the maximum at Sutton Bridge, Lincolnshire, UK through light cloud. This is a stack of roughly 70 images.
I planned everything. When I saw the path of the eclipse, I envisioned a sequential shot of the annular eclipse starting just as the sun cleared the edge of Mount Thielsen in Oregon. I found the perfect location just north of Crater Lake National Park to get it lined up. I just couldn't schedule clear skies. This was the only shot of the sun I got through the entire duration of the eclipse. Oh well, I gave it a good try...
The overall orange color is from the solar filter I used. During solar viewing without clouds it gives the sun a more natural color. But when the sun (even when partially eclipsed) illuminates clouds they pick up the same color if they're bright enough to make it through the filter. Kind of weird looking, but also kind of cool. However, it definitely didn't look this way when glancing directly at the sky.
Took a combination of my images to show the sequence of the whole 2024 eclipse from my viewing location.

The light passing through the gaps between the leaves of the trees provide a camera obscura to view the soloar eclipse in an abstract pattern on our driveway.

Thanks for stopping by and view this photo. The reason for posting this photo on Flickr is to learn so if you have constructive feedback regarding what I could do better and / or what should I try, drop me a note I would love to hear your input.
View on Black the way it should be seen!

Large crowd was gathering all over Reykjavik to see the solar eclipse. Despite the cold weather for some viewers the event was similar to a summer music festival.
Have over a thousand images to sort through, but here is an image from the total stage of Saturday's eclipse from Seneca, South Carolina at 45.86% coverage. I had been going back and forth all day Friday about trying to drive somewhere to get out from under the clouds and started checking weather forecasts, satellites, CSC, etc. and I found that Greenville, SC looked to provide a 50/50 chance and I was familiar with the area having been there for the 2017 total solar eclipse. Friday evening I was still back and forth on going, but still loaded up my car just in case and at midnight decided to go. I left at 1am for the 8 hour drive and after a few pit stops got to Greenville at 9:40am. I was met with clouds and drizzle. Looking at the satellite loop I noted that clouds were forming off the mountains and blowing right over Greenville. I also noted that to the SW about an hour away there was a good size clearing with no clouds forming. After a quick break/rest I headed to Seneca, SC for the hour drive. Nothing but clouds the whole way there until about 10 minutes out and then it started clearing and I had found the clear hole. There were still some clouds passing from time to time, but still plenty of clear skies to image under. I arrived at 11:30am. After setting up the mount and scope I planned to use I had problems with the mount so luckily I always bring a back up mount and that work perfectly. Unfortunately I did miss the beginning of the eclipse, but I was ok with that considering everything else.
The eclipse was visible today in South Tyrol. 70% of the sun was obscured. Unfortunately, the picture has not become the best. Have used a dark glass from the welder goggles.

Congratulations to those I follow with your awesome eclipse photos! In contrast, here I am viewing the eclipse with my handmade pin-hole viewer* about two minutes before the 88% maximum in Madison.

It was a fantastic partial annular solar eclipse on Thursday, June 10th! It was nice and warm with thin clouds during the entire event. I used a Canon EOS700D and EFS 18-200mm lens with a Thousand Oaks Optical solar filter, and a range of ISO, shutter speeds and apertures.

Nothing can fully prepare you for experiencing this in person. It is undoubtedly the most spectacular astronomical event we can ever experience on Earth. It was worth the ~1800 miles of driving from SC to IL and back even for the naked eye experience alone.
