Coming Out Of Totality
Clicking the image will take you to its Flickr page. You can see a larger version there.
I think I took about 80 photos of the eclipse up to just before totality. Then the cold ran me inside.
I wasn't happy with any of them, other than the one I posted earlier.
Just as totality was ending, I went back outside with the tripod, and took about 6 more photos. This was the best one I got.
I hope the next total eclipse, three years from now, occurs during warmer weather.
Exposure: 1.6 sec (8/5)
Aperture: f/5.3
Focal Length: 270 mm
ISO Speed: 400
Exposure Bias: 0/6 EV
Metering Mode: Spot
I would settle for not @#$% cloudy a#@&$gain! At least I can enjoy it vicariously at your site; thanks!

It was clear here, and Alison said it was amazing. I somehow got busy and missed it. (the story of my life) So, thanks for sharing!

i think that's beautiful. there's something very quiet and peaceful about it. something that makes me just want to stop.

I like the softness of the image. It's a different quality than the one below, more art than science. I mean that in a good way.
