Eclipse photos thread

[Anjelllo]

Just wanted to make this thread, so that in a couple hours when the eclipse is over, we can all share the cool photos we took of the eclipse, and how our areas look when the eclipse is in full force. Also, make sure you have legit glasses on when you look at the eclipse, if it is uncomfortable to look at the sun even with your glasses on, they are fakes.You shouldn't be able to see ANYTHING but the sun with legit glasses on, and the front of them should be reflective like this: Cheers! Have a great eclipse viewing!

Would love to see some. I don't have any proper glasses or the proper lens filters for this kind of photography.

I'm not going to lie, I'm way less interested in seeing the eclipse itself as I am of seeing time lapse videos of communities themselves as darkness descends mid-day and then goes away as quickly as it came.

Now that might be mildly interesting.  I have zero interest in the eclipse itself.  My boss just tried to get me outside to watch it, but I just didn't find it compelling enough.

I kind of forgot about the eclipse, so I don't have an adequate filter, so I'm limiting myself to a very stopped down 35mm lens. Hopefully I'll still be able to get some interesting shots, although obviously nothing super close-up.

It's a once in a lifetime experience. Seriously

Nah not really, there's partial ones every 2 years or so.

It's way too hot for me to stand outside for a good amount of time. Anyways I got this poorly shot photo from my iPod.

Me and my whole dept went to the park to watch it.

What fool turns down the chance to be paid to stand in a park?   However Toronto was not in the totality zone so we mostly just saw it get darker.

Was in the totality zone but clouds made it hard to see with a camera.

I was right in the line of it (Nebraska), but just couldn't bring myself to care.  Now, my bank closing and not reopening until a good half hour after the eclipse - forcing me to waste nearly 20 minutes of my lunch break - that I care about.

This is the best I can do. Shot from a Note5 through the eclipse glasses.

I'm only an hour west of you and I was out at Peak (2:30 PM) and you could hardly notice the increased darkness. Yeah it was less bright, but on a cloudy day it would be even darker. It would be interesting to see a time-lapse video of the environment around to see how much darker it really got. Seeing a side-by-side comparison would no doubt make the darkness way more obvious.

 

The actual eclipse itself was interesting. Though I only watched it for a few moments.

[GrandNebSmada]

A cloud went in front of it just at it reached the peak where i live (northeast ohio) so we were able to look right at it without glasses or anything

This isn't mine and it was from a couple of years ago. Eclipse time lapse from a plane.

Yeah I thought it was definitely something noticeable. We had a 65% eclipse in San Antonio, Texas and the color of the sky was definitely less saturated than normal. I really can't wait for the April 8th, 2024 eclipse though. The path of totality is literally six miles from my house then, I could walk to it if I didn't want to deal with traffic. Though I'll drive about 40 miles to a small town right in the center so I get the 4 minutes, 20 second of totality this eclipse is supposed to bring. Make sure to take a drive in to Buffalo for that one, as Buffalo seems to be right in the center of the line of totality.

 

[SteveGrabowski0]

I personally made the pinhole camera with two pieces of cardboard to see the crescent Sun during our 65% eclipse, but perhaps a cooler version of that viewing of the Sun is what Prof Walter Lewin of MIT did today, showing images of the crescent Sun through the holes sunlight peeks through in trees (he had similar coverage).

A total eclipse coming nearby is pretty rare though. The one in 2024 will be the first to come to my part of Texas (within say 300 miles of my house) since at least the late 1800s.

[Suika]

Kind of wish I bought a filter for my dad's DSLR, but if I thought that far ahead I wouldn't have had to use a pinhole to view the eclipse.

 

Did get to see totality, though.

[klh2000]

Got a few pictures from my phone through a welding helmet, I only had 70% in new York.
