The eclipse was awesome! Here's a quick edit from one of my shots.

More to come later!

very nice.

We were in 60% occlusion but with lots of clouds in the sky. It was interesting but not dramatic.

Absolutely awesome! Thank you for sharing it!

Hey is that the land rover in the top right hand corner of the moon?? enquiring minds need to know.

You got Mercury there to the lower left. I was able to catch Mercury as well here in GA. Took two rolls of film of people and the environment that I'll develop tonight.

I thought we were going to miss it but the clouds cleared just in time.

Nice!

My eclipse shots were a disaster. I went to Oregon to do a landscape with the eclipse in it. I hunted for 2 days and finally found a spot in some farm land. I was getting my gear set up and a farmer came out. He couldn't kick us off the public road but he found a way to get rid of us. He came out with a tractor loaded with a tank of chemicals to spray and said we had to leave the area. Really, he couldn't wait another hour. So I had to leave and find another spot just as the eclipse was starting.

Rain and clouds in Central Missouri. But a nice picnic and family time as we send our daughter off to the University of Illinois this evening.

Very nice images! I was at home in Summerville, South Carolina. We should have seen the max. We were rained out.....

[Corran]

I'm seeing some fake composites that were impossible to shoot making the rounds on Facebook...so I made one too using one of my old 4x5 negatives :cool: :rolleyes:

I suppose I could clean this up a bit more and send it out to make a digital negative and then silver print it...hmm...

That's pretty cool Bryan :)

Thanks Pali.

Here's another shot, taken just a second after the first photo I posted here.

Brilliant capture Andrew. Love the 2nd version.

Didn't try to photograph it, but watched with my wife and some of her colleagues from the steps of the Library of Congress. 81% totality still very impressive! Got some eclipse glasses for free from the Smithsonian's Air&Space Museum.
For the record, I dug out my Wratten 4.0 ND gel filter (that's 14.3 stops of attenuation) and a quick glance showed that the eclipse glasses are darker than the filter- and warmer in color. So don't use ND filters for any future eclipse viewing.

Was real thick fog here on the N. California coast, but drove inland 12 miles and viewed a hazy sun. We used a piece of FP4+ film sandwiched in cardboard. Was real fun. I didn't intend to photograph, but used the camera I had in my pocket. Here's a photo (if it's not allowed here, please delete my post):168703

Lovely Andrew and Bryan, makes me wish I had seriously considered making images.
Sorry to hear of your troubles Tuco!
I was up in bull of the woods with many others and had a lovely viewing. what an amazing sunset on the horizon too!
Unfortunately I think my camera's batteries had bad contacts and never opened the shutter. =(

For future viewing please only use one of the following for viewing the sun:
*eclipse glasses
*Special Telescope Filters (front end! not eyepiece ones!)
*#14 welders glass
*pinhole projection
*Telescopic / lens projection (carefully! don't start a fire)

(you can use other media on your camera, as long as you aren't looking through the lens.

and if you don't mind eyesight damage you can do as you please.

Actually, I researched info from NASA before making my filters. So, perhaps you don't believe in NASA provided information.

It seems there may be an acceptable use of fogged BW film for viewing (http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/celestial-objects-to-watch/solar-filter-safety/):

Given the inconsistencies of silver content from film to film I would recommend sticking to the numerous other safe recommendations I linked to previously:
http://perkins.owu.edu/solar_viewing_safety.htm
And remember, you can overexpose cyanotype, platinum, and other alt process UV based printing processes.

Super!

Don't be so harsh, Mark. A 5,0 ND filter would be fine as it is used for solar photography - and there you watch the sun through it safely. And don't you worry about any future full eclipse either - none of us will be here at that time, I assure you!

Another picture you can be proud of!

The photo geek in me was curious. In Houston at ISO 100 and 1/125th shutter speed my incident light meter read f8. That's 2 stops less light than Sunny 16. The lower light level was noticeable by eye as well. We didn't have totality but it was still interesting.

[Colorado CJ]

Here's an overall shot of the totality. This was taken with my little OMD EM10 and Samyang 7.5mm Fisheye lens (a VERY wide lens).
