You knew they were coming: my solar eclipse photos. In Dallas, the eclipse happened right around noon. The sun was straight overhead and it was cloudless. It makes for great viewing but I had to shoot hand-held. I couldn't get my tripod set up to do a 90 degree shot. The first photo when it was just beginning shows a string a sunspots. I thought that was cool. The others really just show the coverage of the moon's shadow over the sun.
SabÃas que éstas venÃan: mis fotos del eclipse solar. En Dallas, el eclipse ocurrió alrededor del mediodÃa. El Sol estaba muy alto en el cielo y estaba completamente despejado. Se podÃa ver el eclipse muy bien pero para tomar las fotos, tuve que sostener la cámara a mano porque no pude ajustar mi trÃpode para sostener la cámara en un ángulo de 90 grados. La foto del inicio del eclipse muestra unas manchas de sol que son padrÃsimos. Las otras fotos sólo muestran la cobertura del sol mientras que la sombra de la luna sobre el sol.
Partial Solar Eclipse on October 25, 2022: Maximum eclipse, 27% of solar disc covered by the Moon.
Image taken trough a Vixen 90/1000mm refractor telescope equipped with solar filter.
Solar Eclipse from Falkirk, Scotland. Taken at f11, 4000sec, ISO100, 50mm lens and with a ND10 stop filter.
This is what's left of the Sun as the Moon started to pass in front of it, creating the spectacular, almost total solar eclipse.
The slightly cloudy tissue allowed for enhanced photographic opportunities for everyone, whereas a completely clear sky would have made for much more tricky conditions to create credible images.
The colours and hue of the sky around the eclipse were breathtaking and featured everything from black to pure white.
During this solar eclipse I was 2 km east of the radio telescope of Parkes in Australia, planning to take photos of the eclipsed setting Sun with the 64 metre dish. A very rare opportunity. Unfortunately the sky was cloudy and I missed the sunset, but I was able to take some photos of the eclipse about half an hour before sunset, when the Sun emerged from the clouds for some minutes.
400mm f/64 lens, exposure 1/8000 at 100 ISO.
It's possible to compare the apparent size of the Moon and the inner planets by capturing their silhouettes during solar eclipses and transits of Venus and Mercury.
The past years I was able to observe and capture all of these events. As I was using different cameras and lens, I re-scaled the photos.

This trip was a long time in the making. I was comitted to viewing the 2024 eclipse immediately after viewing the 2017-08-21 total eclipse. Most of the nearly seven years between the two eclipses consisted of waiting for the next one. Just before arriving at the one year mark before this eclipse, I got Doug on board for an eclipse trip and began planning in earnest.
For this eclipse trip, I had a two-pronged, weather-dependent plan. Depending upon which weather forecast looked most promising, we would travel to either western Ohio (preferred) or northeast Texas. After arriving at one of those two destinations, we would further assess the weather the evening before and either veiw the eclipse from that location, or move along the path of totality to get to clearer skies, if needed, on eclipse day.
Exactly a year before the eclipse, we mounted a scouting expedition in the western Ohio/eastern Indiana region to decide on a campground from which we hoped to view the eclipse. Wildcat Woods Campground in Ohio was our base for this expedition. We looked at a couple of other campgrounds, but ended up selecting Wildcat Woods Campground for the 2024 eclipse trip, and we made a reservation before leaving after the 2023 visit. This was the first that the campground owners knew of the eclipse.
In the last few days before we were to depart Maryland, the weather forecasts were all over the place, but the Ohio prong looked best on the day prior to departure. We towed the camper from Maryland to Wildcat Woods on April 6th.
On Sunday, the day before the eclipse, we spent the day carefully monitoring the forecasts ("perseverating" would be more accurate) expecting the various models to coverge and provide a clear prediction. They didn't converge, so the weather picuture was not very helpful. The forecast model that we decided to accept as accurate showed clouds all morning on eclipse day, and clearing out at noon with about 9% cloud cover. The regions to the west and to the east along the eclipse path did not look materially different. With no compelling reason to move to another location on eclipse day, we decided that night that we would be staying at Wildcat Woods for the eclipse.
We woke up to an unexpected crystal clear and deep blue sky on eclipse day morning. The forecast for eclipse time still looked pretty good.
At around 9am high thin clouds rolled in, and persisted through the eclipse. Even with the high thin clouds in place the clouds did not hinder eclipse viewing at all.
It would be pointless to attempt a description of the eclipse experience here, or anywhere else, because there are no adequate words available to me for this purpose.
We departed for Maryland the next morning, and by mid-afternoon we experienced about 45 minutes of traffic slow downs that were probably due to southbound eclipse traffic. These slowdowns hindered our travel from central Pennsylvania and down toward Baltimore and Washington DC.
obviously there was no way in hell i could directly shoot the eclipse with my cybershot,and without ruining my eyes..what else to do but to shoot the reflection?
taken with the help of a good old bowl,water,and turmaric :P
i know the shot sucks..but just felt like uploading whatever i had of this incredible occassion..
In Scotland's Capital the conditions were near to perfect with a blue sky tinged with a light cloud cover, allowing for excellent viewing and good photo opportunities.
In Edinburgh, around 9.15am a bright and beautiful Spring morning suddenly became quite mystic and twilight like. The temperature dropped as the unusual shadows from the sun's raze developed a pinkish tint. The birds stopped singing as crowds started to fill the streets from houses and offices.
And whether or not your knew the person you were standing beside or passing there was a delightful sense of comradeship and everyone shared this momentous occasion happily.

Designer eclipse glasses did their duty today. At the end of the day, what remained were shared memories, photos... and the cardboard glasses. They look a lot more stylish than my regular specs. Maybe I will just keep wearing them, rotating colors based on my wardrobe.

Photo is untouched SOOC, except for some cropping. I kept this photo pristine and natural like my other photos. PB082255
Bailey's Beads marks the start of totality in the Solar Eclipse of 2024. The last remnants of the sun dip below the mountains and valleys of the moon's surface.
This shot is of what's left of the Sun when the Moon had nearly passed in front of it, almost completely. Note the pinkish shades all around and this created a mystical period as we mere mortals gazed in awe.
I hadn't really thought much about the eclipse to be honest until, on this sunny Friday morning in Edinburgh, the sky began to darken around 9.15am and most unusually I was at home. I noticed people gathering in the streets and everyone seemed to be chatting and becoming more enthused at the happenings as every minute passed.
Camera at the ready I decided to see for myself. Outside the light had become strange, a mystical and fantastic beauty emerged in a pink glow - the clouds around the sun were almost black and then pure white - a white I hadn't seen before - strongly potent and not for gazing at with the naked eye. The clouds however provided an opportunity for everyone to look up and take pictures.
This was the Moon passing in front of the Sun and there was nothing anybody could do about it - I love that about the weather and the Earth's natural functions. We have no power.
I hope you've enjoyed seeing my snapshots of the eclipse which were taken just for fun and without any thought whatever. Point, shoot and let the camera do the rest.
