Friend and fellow POTN'er paul3221 invited me along for a quick hit-and-run to the Grand Canyon to photograph the eclipse. About every nerd with a telescope was lined up on the rim, but we had a good time and I learned a lot from Paul as usual.

Before the eclipse, I shot this tele shot of the hazy layers to the west with my WB on tungsten:

Nice shots Bruce. I still love the shot of the blue layers. I'm not sure you really learned anything from me, but it's nice of you to say... ;-)a

Sony A7RII, 5DII, a bunch of lenses and lighting... Whatever gets the shot... ;-)a

What a great set, Bruce. I'm really leaning towards that blue version of the canyon. Thats a wowzer. KUDOS.


Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.

I agree with the others, the layers of blue shot is beautiful.

Thanks to all for the kind words. For the sake of intellectual honesty, my eclipse photos are aided by a little Photoshop magic. Those are actual photo's of the eclipse at the height of the moment, but even with the sun obscured by 87%, it was still impossible to get a shot without blowing out the sun without having specialized filters. Even our local newspaper ran photoshopped eclipse shots from their staff photographers.

Love #2 very unique. The eclipse looks like a hole punch in the sun, weird how that looks. What a great place to watch it from.
