There must have already been a million pictures
of the recent eclipse across the U.S. posted but I'll
add my mine too. I got to view 44 seconds of eclipse
totality from Idaho City, Idaho. Not very crowded.
The eclipse itself was amazing. Dimming and then
an eerie flash of darkness. This picture was taken
just as totality faded.

A photo of the moon eclipse during the totality phase from Paris so very low over the horizon. In France the eclipse was visible from 4h30 AM to 7h30 AM. This photo was done at 6h15 AM.
I'm very happy with all stars around the moon (zoom in to see them).
More to come soon.

As I didnt want to flood your flickr view I did a collage.

Lebanon Or - Totality was totally amazing - Put it on your "bucket list" if you have not witnessed. The street lights came on - it grew colder - and poof - a flash of light and the sun was gone! Totality is very different than a partial eclipse - amazing - astonishing - stunning - It was well worth the journey - really fabulous!
The Super Flower Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse at 12:39am EDT, 15 minutes before the end of totality.

I photographed this total solar eclipse in Oregon back in Aug.21, 2017.
I think I posted this image way back then, but I am not sure?
I am posting it again, for those who are new to following my photography, so you have this once in a lifetime look at this amazing event. Total solar eclipses don't come around very often.
Oregon was in the path of totality, so I was very fortunate to have been able to get this shot!
Enjoy the view my friends, and have a wonderful weekend!

Total Eclipse from Early April, A personal observation, the temperature drop was immediate, about 8C. The sun's affect on our planet is the single most climate influence we have. Taken with my bird lens, 500 mm, manual settings, in RAW
This was taken in Nashville Tn. about 15 minutes before totality. Although clouds chose to block the shot, the muses conspired and regained control of artistic endeavor.
Composite image of the August 21, 2017 Total Solar Eclipse. Glenrock, WY.
4 images captured during totality used in this composite:
Outer Corona
Solar Prominence's
Earth Shine
Diamond Ring
Captured using Celestron Advanced VX equatorial mount on tethered capture. Nikon Telephoto AF-S Nikkor 500mm f/4D ED-IF manual focus lens with a 1.4:1 teleconverter was used at an effective focal length of 700mm at f5.6 (f8 with teleconverter). Camera: Nikon D800E.

Taken in August of 2017 for the solar eclipse in North America. This was in South Carolina. I recently acquired Topaz Sharpen AI, and thought I would re-process for a cleaner shot. Also enhanced sun rays with Luminar 4 and denoised with DXO Photolab. Final touch-up was in Photoshop.

View of the evolution of the lunar eclipse on Sept 7, 2025, from the end of totality till the first half of the umbra.
I had hoped to take more photos of this eclipse, beginning with the moonrise at sunset during the maximum totality of the eclipse. However, low, distant clouds hid the moon for half an hour, until the end of totality.
Then, I got three clear shots until light clouds hid the moon partially for the next four shots. Eventually, the moon was completely hidden by clouds, reappearing only partly for my last shot at the middle of the umbra.
This is a composite of eight photos framed identically and taken from same spot on the top of the Brusilia Residence in Schaerbeek, Brussels.

"Observers on the ground had a rare view of the Sun’s active outer atmosphere, or corona. Glowing loops of plasma called solar prominences could also be seen extending into the corona. Plasma is super-hot ionized gas which flows along the tangled and twisted structure of the Sun’s magnetic fields.
“This view of the corona will never happen again, ever,” said Michael Kirk, a research scientist in the Heliophysics Division at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center during a live broadcast of the eclipse from Dallas, Texas. During the broadcast, Kirk noted that the spiky and asymmetrical nature of the corona was a sign that the Sun’s magnetic field was active and approaching solar maximum."
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 :)
In anticipation of the up and coming eclipse on friday, here is one I took way back in 2006 in the Sahara Desert in Libya, Sadly Friday's show won't be a full total eclipse in the UK (lucky old Faroe Islanders on that score) but will still be well worth seeing, weather permitting.

These next 24 hours would very interesting. I was in the 100% Totality Zone for the solar eclipse the next day. So the camera was ready. Snagged it from the charger and I was off.
Had to work in about an hour. Of course I was waiting most of the afternoon for these storms to come closer and they eventually did...
A few wicked good lightning shots captured that evening!

. . . After two minutes and forty seconds of totality, the first glimpse of the sun coming around the edge of the moon produces a starburst effect known as the "Diamond Ring"!
Everyone around me began clapping and cheering, just like the start of totality! It was an experience that will be remembered forever!
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
The diamond-ring effect occurs at the beginning and end of totality during a total solar eclipse.
Note the star (or Mars?) visible at the 2 o'clock position.
