Post your 21 Aug solar eclipse pictures here

Good for you, Sylvia.

I've come to the conclusion that I will have longer glass for the next one!

Here is my addition to the sequence photos.

Very cool. Can you explain how you are creating this collage of images? How do you get them lined up and spaced out proportionally? What software are you using?

Here is another of our picnic area. The camera settings were identical and after converting the same, I saved the settings and imported them to the others so WB, noise reduction and a plethora of other PS setting are the same.

Dang! I shoulda done the same with a second camera. I never really noticed any darkening (maximum 'totality' here was 79%), but I was told that inside the building's suites it did really look like dusk.

Alveric slaps himself with a large trout a bit more

Yea, I had two. one on a tripod tethered to a PC and the other free to do anything.

My attempts from St. Louis:

We had some clouds come through around 4 minutes before totality, which allowed for a few quick unfiltered shots:

From the Cherohala Skyway just inside the NC border.

From Rigby ID Canon 5D2 and 100-400 mm with Thousand Oaks glass filter

I have next to no post-processing skills.
All I did here was to select "Monochrome" in Canon's DPP when converting a RAW file to a jpeg.
Still, maybe someone likes it.
(The streaks were some clouds)

John had to get a landscape shot in here

Well done!

I absolutely did lol. I had that tripod/lens set up from about 9am that morning in that spot. I shot several from it, but I suspect this one will end up being my favorite. Thank you.

No where near as impressive as the shots from the areas of totality but not too shabby from NE Ohio. Looking forward to really nailing it in 2024.

Did you guys see the shot of the space station passing in front of the sun. That was pretty cool!

From Columbia SC almost directly on the line. This is the few I've looked at so far. I had absolutely AMAZING weather. Other than it being 95 degrees, the skies cleared off right as the Eclipse started and gave us one of the best shows in the world. I was lucky, some friends across town not even 15mins away had clouds. Couldn't have asked for it better than fully clear skies that held all the way through. I can't fully explain what I just saw, I was as close to the line of totality as you could probably get. It was the greatest natural phenomena I've ever witnessed.

Here is totality and the corona around the sun, as well as totality with some Chromosphere and a couple diamond rings. Still have tons more to go through.

I was in Tellico Plains, TN, at the Cherohala Skyway Visitor Center. We had 2:38 of totality, and clear skies all day. What an amazing experience!

Very nice.
