Solar Eclipse
We went to Wyoming to see the total solar eclipse, and here's a montage of photos I took. I've always wanted to see a total solar eclipse, and it was absolutely fantastic. No photos can begin to convey the experience. 99% of totality isn't the same - if you can ever get out to see one it's worth the effort.
Here's the center one blown up. The dot on the lower left is the planet Mercury.

Great photos!
ReplyDeleteI tried to see it here, but my plans were thwarted by clouds. I wasn't even going to try and take photos though. I have no idea how to do it.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, and your presentation in the first one is spectacular. I had no idea you could Mercury. Very cool...
Funny how small mercury looks. Even though the solar system is small in comparison to the galaxy, the distance is huge between us and our sister planets
ReplyDeleteHi Al, what an awesom collage of the solar eclipse. Thanks for sharing. Greetings Jo
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing pictures Al I do hope you were careful with eyes though. I remember the one we had in 1999, we did the whole white paper thing to look at it and the light was really strange, it was like blue hour but at 1 pm and all the birds stopped singing and started roosting like it was nightime. It was weird, but interesting. I don't know when the next Lunar Eclipse will occur, it get too cloudy here in Scotland though to see anything great like that though. Thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely amazing photos! Well done!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I experienced the eclipse in totality in Idaho Falls. It was amazing but I was unprepared to take decent photographs of it as I only had my phone.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent eclipse photos and what an experience to view ~ thanks for sharing ~ ^_^

Wow, great job capturing the eclipse, Al! I know these are difficult to photograph. I like the montage.
ReplyDeleteIt was great, wasn't it? And everyone was so nice and having a great time. I hope I can be in the right place again in 2024.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures.
ReplyDeleteThese are great photos, unfortunately I had cloud cover so I did not have any really great photos.
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous collage!
ReplyDeleteTwo thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant clicks
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. I guess I have until 2024 to learn how to photograph (like so many others, I didn't plan to, until I got swept up in the moment.) Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

ReplyDeleteMoving on to see the news.
ReplyDeleteNice picture.
Good start to the month of September.

wonderful. what an amazing opportunity you had. great photos.
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely wonderful Al -- I'm actually glad I was swamped busy last week and didn't see yours before I posted by meager efforts. But the important thing was the amazing experience; no picture could convey the feeling (but yours come closer!) ....so glad we were in the path of totality as well!
