Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.
-Aesop
Instead of photographing the eclipse, I merely enjoyed it,
what a show it was, these are heavenly bamboo and holly branches casting eclipse shadows against our house's east wall.
Happy Hump Day, flickrinos!
Esto es todo lo que nos ha dado tiempo a disfrutar del eclipse en Madrid justo antes de que el sol se ocultase entre los árboles. Solamente unos minutos de intensa emoción, pero ha merecido la pena
Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments

We just witnessed a wonderful total eclipse of the sun,
but it wasn't this one, because this one is fake, jajaja!
Have a great week, my friends!
The shooting time was 10:36 am at Seal Point Park, San Mateo, California
Thank you everyone for your visit and seeing!

The cloiuds in NJ gave me a chance to get some nice looks at the eclipse today with an interesting nocturnal effect.

As I mentioned, I was going to skip photographing the eclipse all together so unlike most people I did not prepare for it due to the fact I thought I just did not have the appropriate equipment to photograph it correctly. I dashed out about 15 minutes before it started and thought it would really be a bust with the cloudy conditions.
Then I thought, the clouds turned out to be ideal with my zoom limitation. I thought this looked like the Grim Reaper traveled through a dark tunnel and made a special visit during the eclipse. LOL

I admit it was a lot more fun watching the eclipse than I first thought, and yes, I even played "Total Eclipse of the Heart" because I'm so funny :)
I really had doubts that this one was going to work out! The forecast was calling for a 60% chance of thunderstorms in Lancaster, PA. I had some trouble with thick clouds in the beginning but in the end - it all worked out. Each photo was made with a Canon 70D and a Canon 17-40 mm f/4L lens @ 36 mm. (1/160 sec, ISO 200, Baader Solar Filter, f/7.1)

I had to improvise and use a pair of sunglasses because I don't have an ND filter. I believe the left corner might not be stopped down which maybe adds a cool effect to it. I totally love the price of this ND filter since hubby got the sunglass insert free from the eye doc. ;-) I am pretty excited due to the fact I obviously did not have the ideal equipment. I honestly wasn't even going to try since I don't have a better zoom lens, but now I am happy I just gave it a shot since the clouds at least to me are kind of cool.
I am going back out the door but I wanted to share this with everyone asap. I will catch up with everyone later on. :D Miss you guys!!

A total solar eclipse is an awe-inspiring phenomenon where the Moon completely blocks the view of the Sun. Before and after totality, there is a partial solar eclipse. During totality, viewers are in the Moon’s shadow or umbra. But, the sky doesn’t go completely dark. Instead, you see parts of Sun that are not ordinarily visible, such as the corona and solar prominences.
One of these phenomenon is the Diamond Ring Effect. It takes place just before totality and right before totality ends (also known as the second and third contact). At this point, the Moon almost fully covers the Sun and a final bright spot of sunlight called the “diamond” remains visible. This striking visual effect resembles a diamond ring as seen above, hence the name.

The leaves on my tree project the eclipse on to my deck. No special glasses required. It was only a partial - 71% in my area.

This image has been generated in collaboration with my friend Steve Dondero. We wanted to generate an image that was unique and conveyed the eerie landscape generated by the total eclipse. So Steve scouted for days in the mountains of Idaho till he found this perfect little lake. It had submerged tufa type formations that made it feel like an alien planet. The lake would line up perfectly for the total eclipse. On the day of the eclipse we started our steep hike into the mountains. Steve as usual with the grace of a speeding gazelle, and me lumbering behind like a drunken asthmatic hippo. A few hours later we reached this spot and realized there was no one around for miles. I shot this image with the hope of rendering the scene at totality. This is a multiple exposure blend mainly to show some of the interesting cloud formations during the shoot, Steve for the human element (playing with his lens ball here) and the totality phase of the eclipse. The foreground has been shot with a wide angle and the sun with a 400 mm lens. I chose to use the image from the longer lens to have a clearer picture of the totality phase, and was using the wide angle to indicate the position of the sun at totality. A few stars made an appearance as well. Would love to hear your thoughts on this rendition.
Kudos to all those who have been posting beautiful images of the eclipse. Really enjoying each creative take on the event.
We had 2 minutes and 37 seconds of totality there at the Bar T Ranch outside Honea Path, SC.
I had picked out that spot - and as it turned out, so had about a dozen others - because it was so close to the center line of the path of totality. That center line fell along the eastern boundary of the Bar T Ranch, about a half-mile away from where I was shooting.
With a good location picked out, the only wild card was the weather. Puffy cottonball clouds formed early in the day, and during the eclipse from our location there were several intervals of 10-15 minutes when the clouds covered the sun completely, including when totality started.
With about 15 seconds of totality remaining, the clouds literally parted - in answer to prayers from many of us, I'm convinced - revealing the solar corona (yesterday's shot) and, moments later, the 'diamond-ring effect' shown here as the moon's disc started to uncover the sun.
The whole event was simply jaw-dropping, an unforgettable experience. Looking forward to the 2024 eclipse!
Pictures don't come close to portraying the euphoria one gets from experiencing a full eclipse. This compilation of images from today's event shows the transit of the moon across the face of the sun, centered by the full eclipse with the surrealistic and incredible corona at the edge of the sun. The 2 minutes of full eclipse was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had- the darkness was sudden and profound. There was a 360 degree sunset sky surrounding us with clouds in rosy attire. Multiple planets and stars were visible (there is a small white dot showing the closest one to the sun at full eclipse on the left side of the photo). There were prominences (arcs of gas) at the edge of the moon shadow. The air was still, and the temperature dropped dramatically. So much happened in that two minutes that sensory overload still buzzed in my head after the harrowing 7 hour drive back in bumper to bumper traffic that would have been familiar to most southern Californians. I can see how people can get addicted to full eclipses, traveling long distances at great expense to experience them- I shall never forget those two minutes as long as I live.
technical note- I used a Thousand Oaks Optical solarlite filter with a Nikon D800 body and a Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6d ED vr lens. (iv)
Thanks as always for you views, comments, and favs.
...as a mater of fact it's all dark
2017 Solar Eclipse 80% coverage. Wildwood, N.J.
a little cloud cover, but still a fabulous show!
Early on 2:02 PM EST
The Great All American Transcontinental Solar Eclipse of August 21, 2017 in this modern time, where photographic devices in everyone’s mobile phone and social media and the 24 hour news cycle are an everyday part of the industrialized countries was probably the most watched and definitely the most photographed eclipse of all time. This was the first total solar eclipse to cross the United States from the Pacific to the Atlantic since June 8, 1918. Interestingly it was the total solar eclipse of the following year 1919, May 29th in which the first experimental test of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity was done, astronomer Sir Arthur Eddington measured the positions of certain stars before and during the actual eclipse and found that the positions differed in a way only explained by the sun’s actual gravity bending the light of the stars’ like a camera lens.
The truth is the moon crosses paths with the sun on every lunar cycle (28 days) which is referred to as the new moon. The moon’s orbit is offset from the Earth’s orbit around the sun by 5 degrees, so more times than not the shadow cast by the sun being blocked by the moon does not even reach the earth. When new moon is on a path that positions it right in front of the sun, the sun, moon and Earth are aligned and you have an eclipse. There are three types, a partial where only a portion of the sun is blocked, an annular where the moon’s distance is too great to completely cover the sun and finally what occurred yesterday a total eclipse if you were along the right path of totality 100% coverage. The New York Metro area was about 71% so to us a partial eclipse.
I considered traveling to the one of the locations in the path of totality the locations in the Carolinas was not that far of a drive, actually looked up accommodations but decided at this point in my life and my family’s life, that wasn’t a good or practical idea. So setup in my backyard yesterday, my Olympus DSLR with an lens with a 1.4 converter that gave me the equivalent of 840mm in terms of 35mm measurement with an Solar Filter on it, a Meade 60mm f/13 refractor telescope also with Solar Filter and B&H badged Lunt Solar System Solar Eclipse glasses my family and I were ready to go. The dogs were kept inside to protect their eyes and I was able to observe the entire eclipse as it started, photographing each stage with my Olympus E-5 with my 3 young adult children sharing in their wacky dad’s experience. My older daughter Ashley was posting pictures on Instagram through the glasses on her IPhone and of me running from apparatus to apparatus. My son Alex and his girl friend also viewed and my youngest Crystal stayed with me throughout, with her solar glasses on. Everyone got to look through the telescope at moon increasingly covered the sun then remember it was only 71% then began to uncover, totally cool and I was glad I stayed home and we all shared this experience.
So when the next total eclipse crosses the United States in 2024, maybe then I’ll try to travel to a location where there is totality, who knows that’s seven years from now. So this is one of my favorite of the many many images I was able to capture (that’s the advantage with digital compared to film really you can shoot so many frames with a big enough memory card) I like it because the clouds add a little texture to the image because my son even said it when he first looked through the telescope at a completely clear sky, is it real because the light of the sun and moon were so sharp. If you follow me on Instagram there will be more images there.

A Solar Corona (Latin for 'crown') is an aura of plasma that surrounds the sun and other stars. The Sun's corona extends millions of kilometers into space and is most easily seen during a total solar eclipse, but it is also observable with a coronagraph. This photo was taken at the point of totality during the 8/21/2017 solar eclipse and clearly shows the solar corona extending outside the shadow of the moon. Normally, the corona’s delicate light is outshone by the bright photosphere or surface of the sun.

I have been in Southern Utah all week, and I raced back up to northern Utah to get the eclipse. Since I KNEW I would not get the full eclipse, I decided to get a foreground I liked and composite it all.

Took a few pics of the solar eclipse which was only partial here in Trinidad. Cloud cover made it even more elusive but I got off a few OK shots...
Kansas City Eclipse 2017
I found a nice little spot that I had mostly to myself till about 30 minutes before totality. The morning storms had cleared out just in time for the eclipse to start, but returned just as we went into totality. The experience was amazing. Now to start planning 2024.
- Composite of shots taken during the total phase of the recent eclipse. The frames are ordered from left to right and the illuminated thin clouds are also left in the image. Interestingly, if you like a challenge, one can calculate how far I am from the eclipse centre line by looking at the positions of the first and last light at the beginning and the end of totality phase.
I don't have a lot of words for this experience. It was one of the most unique and memorable days of my life.
One unexpected thing will always stick with me though - the quietness of it all.
You can imagine how hectic the radio was - dozens of small airplanes were buzzing around us. Each trying to perfectly line up for this once in a life time experience. One scratchy transmission after another, right up until totality. Then, silence.
