A week ago today, I took my first trip to Indian Head Trail that took many months and a lot of luck of planning to capture the 2024 Great American Eclipse. I greatly underestimated the length and difficulty of the hike, from forgetting my water bottle to carrying about 20 pounds of camera gear (which includes a hefty 10 pound Manfrotto Tripod), to stripping off about 5 layers of clothes I slept in and forgot to take off. When I got to the summit around noon, about 10 or so other photographers were also set up. One photographer asked out loud, "So who else here used PhotoPills to plan this?" Almost everyone's hand went up, followed by a verbal, "We're all just a bunch of nerds." While PhotoPills certainly helped me plan, I also used PlanitPro and Photo Empharis were also very instrumental to visualize the eclipse position and just to verify the position of the sun and moon's path in the sky.
This is a composite using one camera to capture the foreground and the moon's size at 24mm and 105mm, then replacing the moon phases with sharper moon images taken at 403mm with a secondary camera and resizing those to match the 105mm moon.
Upon reviewing this photo. I noticed a little snowman hidden near one of the trees. Let me know if you end up finding it!

Very cool shadow from a tree in my school playground caused by the November 2012 Solar Eclipse... though for us it was only partial!
