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.

On 21 August 2017, the US with have the chance to witness a total solar eclipse from the west cost to the east coast. I live in New Jersey and we'll only get about 75% totality but that's where I'll be viewing from. I tried to find a good solar filter and learned that they cost over $100 so a bit hard to justify. The library has been giving out free glasses and I managed to get a pair. I made a camera filter by taping one side of the glasses to a cheap UV filer. I've been testing it out and the sun in this pic is the actual pic that I shot. You can see AR2671, a 140,000 mile long sunspot. I added the scene of New York because the orange ball was kind of boring and it is Slider Sunday! For the NY shot I deleted the sky and cleaned it up a bit and make it darker, not much else.
Happy Slider Sunday and Eclipse Monday!!!
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.

This is another shot of the totality from yesterday, but a shorter exposure, which reveals the colorful flares at the top and right edges - when zoomed.
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!

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!

Lunar eclipse of the Harvest Moon, September 27 2015
Three RAW files processed with Olympus Viewer 3 and composite created with Gimp.
_9275020-30-40
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.
The individual images as well as the eclipse sequence can be viewed in my eclipse montage image here: flic.kr/p/Y6PxLi
Shadows cast on the concrete driveway through the trees by the eclipsed sun. The sun is to our right. You can see that we were just outside the path of totality. I left a clump of green grass in the upper left corner. Otherwise everything seems colorless.
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.

Dedicated to my very good friend Paul Ewing, co-founder & co-adminstrator in "PANO'-Vision", co-admin in "Totality of Reality" and "VisionAria" and living example of "The Salt of the Earth", for his birthday ( Sept 29. )
Two Pano-Sabotaged shots of Grand Central Station in New York taken in the late afternoon, facing north, and into the front of the historical landmark. The two shots were used in layers repeatedly, but, as always, the two main images sit featured at the centre of the composition, always. Transparencies and edgings overlap, framing and boosting the main panels, and giving them a snap and a push around the edges.
Original shots taken June 12, 2019.
The lighting situation was a real challenge for my iPhone 6. As one can see, the tops of buildings were still lit by the golden, June, evening sun, but closer to the ground we experience the "caverning" that Manhattan is known for. The shots were taken in long, deep shadows, with the brightly lit towers and sky above making it a challenge to balance the lighting while taking the shot.
It's been just over 5 years now that Paul and I discovered that each other were doing the same crazy things with our iPhones and we started to talk. That talk led to a long and rewarding partnership and a solid friendship. Happy Birthday, Maestro !!!

Just a quick post from Concan, Texas. Most of the eclipse was socked in with clouds but managed about 2 seconds of visibility during totality. So cool and so worth the trip!!
"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!
A rework on the moon eclipse : more Art than reallity
The totality (cropped view)
Hard moment to get a nice photo because the moon is so dark, so I used different photos of the moon and one photo for the stars (very slow shutter speed).
So it may not be "reallistic" (like HDR photos) but it shows better the eclipse. And yes I have applied a 90° rotation on this one to show the moon as we are used to see it.

Took in the eclipse experience in the Carbondale, Ill area. Went a little south into the Giant City State Park.
{Note: for some reason, incorrect EXIF data has loaded with this photo; was actually taken with Sony 70-200mm f4, 1/500. ISO 100.]
Claimed a spot in Morrill, NE for the 2017 eclipse! Morrill had 100% totality for 1min 43sec.
All photos shot on a Canon 80D with a Sigma 150-500mm at 500mm with a Daystar Solar Filter.

This is last night's lunar eclipse in totality. I was lucky to get this shot through thin clouds so that the moon seemed to fade in and out. The moon turns red during a lunar eclipse so it is sometimes called a "blood moon". During a lunar eclipse, the sun's rays are reflected by the earth's atmosphere, with shorter wavelength blue light scattered, leaving longer wavelength red light to color the moon.
