    Some of the most spectacular eclipse photos (outside of NASA) that I've seen. Really captures the experience. Wonderful work by this dedicated and talented man!

    We were in Vincennes, Indiana. This was worth every second. I have never seen anything as awe-inspiring as this in my life. I took a couple of random pictures with my cell phone and then just took it all in. Luckily, one of them actually managed to catch a few solar flares.

    We were in Bloomington, Indiana and my wife said look at the plane flying across the eclipse. Someone there got that picture and it is spectacular. I was busy looking at the beautiful purple flare on the bottom of the eclipse with my binoculars. A 12 hour drive for a four minutes show but what a show.

      Wow...sounds amazing!
      I know you don't need the eclipse glasses when totality occurs, but I didn't realise it was safe enough to look at the sun's flares through binoculars. So, he didn't use a filter for the sun's flares on his photos? They were really that colour?

      @@Mortthemoose Several flares show in different photos but I only saw the large one on the bottom of the sun with my binoculars. It was a gorgeous purple reddish color. I only looked for a few seconds at a time because it was bright. I passed the binoculars around to the people near me and everyone was amazed. The binoculars were to look for the devil comet which I didn't see nor have I heard mentioned by others.

    3:23 That's a great image. It looks like most eclipse photos for 2024 are the same corona shape mostly, just rotated as it moved from Texas to Maine. I was in Ohio, so if I tilt this image, I should get a good representation of what mine looked like - great for keeping a memory! The upper right of the disc was also a small line of prominences for me, since I only had 90 seconds of totality, and the sun was barely covered there. All of that on a dark blue sky, above a haze of high thin clouds. Thanks for helping me preserve a memory.

    Great shots! My brother was in Jackman, ME and took some "professional" level photos himself, including the sun spots and the prominence. I on the other hand at Long Lake, NY, put the lens from a cheap pair of eclipse glasses in front of my video camera! Oh well. I'm thrilled to have experienced it.

    Stunning photographs!! 👏👏👏
    I'm in Scotland, and we were due to get a glimpse of a sliver of the moon obscuring the sun, but unfortunately it was thick cloud cover 😮‍💨
    I DID watch the news coverage of the eclipse from Mexico, up over America, but they didn't show Canada.
    It was really spoilt for me though, as it was just NOISE!!! Thousands of people whooping, howling and yelling, plus the news person shouting over the top of all of that, and interviewing people whilst it was going on! ......I just wanted to enjoy seeing the eclipse, and listening to what I i though might be silence, as people stood in awe and wonder.....but, no.
    That spot where you were looked incredible!

    So envious. I planned for years. Considered Maine and Indiana, but figured they would be cloudy this time of year. Went to Texas instead believing perfect for clear skies. However it was the inverse and had to drive two hours away from totality to get 95% so it wouldn’t the a total waste. Great job.

I don't know how many realise this, but that loop of material at the bottom of the picture? The entire Earth could pass through that loop! Such is the size of the Sun. I hope the eclipse has made at least some people consider the magnificence of God's creation. to say it's all come about as a series of mindless accidents is an insult.

    When I saw the eclipse, the sky was deep BLUE, not black! So yeah this "black and white" pic (3:30) is misleading, just like ALL other eclipse photos. In fact, after seeing the eclipse I feel I have been deceived for all my life about what the eclipse looks like. It was a super sharp white ring with a dark blue background with tiny orange prominences around. So magnificently colorful, not black and white!
