2017 Eclipse

markesc · 08-22-2017, 08:21 PM

Hopefully many on here got to go out and see!

Talk about a religious out of this world experience like no other, and I'd thought all these people going on and on about it were on drugs/crazy! I actually feel bad for those that either thought they "saw the eclipse" but only saw 99.8%, which isn't the same at all, or the ones that were within a days drive and decided it wasn't a big deal.

Photographed for over 21+ years, never seen anything more spectacular!

Shot with a Canon 5dmkiv carefully liveview focused after the eclipse phase had begun, which I discovered it's much easier to live view focus as the sun glare decreases.

Av mode: F22 1/25th ISO 100 mirror lockup + 2 second delay:

Av mode: F22 1.3seconds ISO 100 mirror lockup + 2 second delay:

Some video, watch the whole thing, some 4k zoomed going from totality back to normal, pretty amazing!

I saw 2017 eclipse and the first thing I thought was Mitsubishi announced they were bringing it back. I was disappointed

Disappointed if they were bringing it back or disappointed that they're not bringing it back? I ask because I still have my 2G.

Disappointed because I thought they were going to bring it back but this turned out to be about the god damn sun

Nice pics.

I tried taking a few pics with my cell phone but they didn't work out. Looked pretty neat using a pin-hole. We got a little over 80% coverage here.

Thanks for sharing

Best photos I saw here were mostly of the shadows. Btw, 65% coverage will still blind you. I can't tell you how many people I saw just looking up at it

I was walking around with a welding mask on getting strange looks
