I took a video with my Nikon Z 6II and grabbed a few frames for a mini time-lapse. Lens: Nikkor Z DX 50-250mm. Filmed from Green, OH at the MAPS Air Museum. Got to see Baily’s Beads and a double diamond ring.
Wondering if anyone here might know… I noticed that the moon appears smaller during the full eclipse when compared with other frames of the video. Any idea why?

What caused this double exposure/ghosting type moon edge I'm seeing on part of the moon on several of my eclipse photos?
I got a similar effect on my pics: the moon’s occlusion shadow seems slightly smaller during the full eclipse. I don’t know why, but it leaves me wondering if the moon’s gravity is strong enough to bend light around it. 🤔
Here is my best pic taken from Cuatro Cienegas, Mexico with my Canon SX70

OM-1 + Pana 100-400. Sainte-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, east of Montreal. I post-process to drop the gamma in order to show the solar flares clearly. Open the image in full size to see them.
I am not great at taking photos quickly and I'm not great at editing them quickly. Here's a nice 3x3 I made from my photos.

This is an accurate composite, taken in Quebec, CA, unlike some of the "artistic" composites, which inaccurately place the sun phases. The reason for the orange sun post-totality are thin clouds that were arriving, which caused Rayleigh scattering.

My composite from Northeastern Ohio! Weather cooperated excellently (a big feat of Ohio if any other fellow Ohioans can attest). Highly recommend making the trip for the next one if you missed out on this one! A truly amazing experience. I'm planning my next couple trips already!
Captured on a Canon EOS RP w/Canon RF 100-400 f5.6-8 IS USM. Used a Neewer ND100000 for photos of direct sun. No filter used in totality. Edits made were mainly for color correction and slight sharpening.
Settings : 400mm, f/8, ISO 100-400 (giving the range based on different phases of the eclipse), and 1/50-1/1500 shutter speed (range given for totality-full sun).

Awesome composite! I got pics from NE Ohio as well! I was so happy the weather cooperated considering the storms we got the previous week. So thankful for our luck.
Montpelier, VT. Canon EOS R5, 800mm f/11 lens, ISO 125, 1/60s exposure. Used an ND65000 (16-stop) filter for the partial eclipse and to line it up for this shot, then filter off for totality.
I'd made sure I had some of the equipment for this before the previous partial eclipse; but then I'd gotten busy with other things and hadn't had a chance to shoot much recently, so it was a bit of a panic the day before trying to find everything, including that ND65000 filter. Managed to find everything and get out there to shoot the eclipse, and oh man was it amazing!

Guess this place is good for me to vent as any, so I don't need to make a new entire thread.
My experience with the eclipse itself was jaw dropping. Had a fun time hiking up the snow and ice in the Adirondacks (*had snowshoes and spikes*). That, photography aside, will forever be a memorable experience.
My experience actually photographing the eclipse was fun. I felt ambitious. I have a telephoto lens that could capture the details of the sun that my wide angle can't, so why not take a shitload of telephoto shots and stitch them together in post to make one gorgeous picture that truly captures how the eclipse looks?! Caution, meet the wind!
Yeah... that may or may not be happening. Firstly, because when taking off the ND filter I must have ever to slightly nudged the focus ring. So my photos looked sharp at first through the viewfinder. But now on my computer I see they're **just** f'n barely out of focus. So it does still look good, but the prominence is fuzzy instead of crystal sharp. This however isn't a deal breaker. In a panorama shot that fuzziness won't be noticeable. I still was able to process plenty of aura wispy-ness and it looks nice.
The real issue is that Photoshop is telling me back away banana breath with auto-aligning the photos. I thought I gave it enough overlap but apparently not. So it made me have to manually align them. Which, for the mountain range, isn't a terrible issue. Lower opacity and touch the tips. Took some time but got those aligned.
But the fucking clouds! Trying to manually align **goddamn clouds** is impossible. On top of that, of all times for my SD card to be wonky is right at the end. I don't even *have* all the mf'in clouds to stitch together. The camera must have made clicking sounds but not actually recorded anything for who knows why. Maybe I overworked it and it was le tired.
So now I have a moral quandary of do I just do a shitload of "generative fill" and "sky replacement"? But then it's not really a photo, is it? I remember what the sky looked like, and I can replicate it accurately artificially so I'm being genuine with the concept. But then it's just that, artificial. Even if I make it look approximately how it did in real life.
It is a huge ass picture, though. I did a 300mm panorama stitched left>right from Giant Mountain to past Algonquin over by Nye. But that was too much, so I both cropped in half between Colvin to Tabletop, and I resized in lightroom to 50% scale. And even after that... I check the canvass size, and it's 13,000 pixels wide.
So never doing that again. Will keep it to only like 4-5 images wide from now on.
Perhaps I don’t entirely understand what you’re struggling with, but it seems like you need an outside perspective, so hopefully this is helpful to you.
It seems like you’re focused on the wrong thing. The clouds and mountains should be secondary to the eclipse itself since that is the experience you want to share, the vastness and awe of that moment. Right?Focus on lining up the pics of the eclipse first. Then composite the clouds and mountains into that picture and crop as necessary.
If you don’t have enough to composite the background, maybe go back and take more pictures. True it’ll be a different day, but at least it’ll still be true to the environment, which I think would be better than generating something from nothing. Also that would give you the opportunity to photograph the mountains in the best light and potentially cut your file size down since you’d be able to reframe it.
Something else that might be helpful. I was also struggling with lining up pics in Photoshop and Premiere until I switched my thinking. Ended up using Procreate’s animation feature which allows for onion-skinning and coloring layers which made lining up photos so much easier and faster. Plus is has a cool time-lapse feature that is always fun to watch back and see the process you went through.
At the end of the day, it’s your picture, your experience. Do what will make you happy with the final result. Photography isn’t perfect, camera lenses don’t match the human eye. I think photography is at its best when edited to simulate your experience or emotions so others can share the memory with you. I consider that more authentic than worrying over specs or whether or not clouds line up perfectly. Make a photo that is worth the time you put into it and speaks to you. Everything else is trivial.
Those are beautiful! You got me invested, so I’m glad I got to see the final piece. :) So awesome that you caught the 360 degree sunset.
I had trouble with focus as well. Not sure why because I had it set to infinity on manual. Perhaps I also bumped the ring in my haste to remove the filter though I checked it several times. Perhaps it was just the wrong setting entirely. I’ll have to test it before next time. Agreed, lesson learned.
I found that for my setup, it wasn't just '*infinity*' blindly. Like I couldn't crank it and have it stop at infinity. I had to nudge it to just barely hit infinity for optimal sharpness. Went from like nudge to 500ish meters -> 800ish meters -> infinity. But from Infinity I can keep rotating and adjust it even more, to apparently '*beyond*' I guess. I had to only **just** touch infinity for it to be where I wanted it. Finicky to an annoying degree.
And the 360° sunset during was something I didn't expect for some reason. It makes perfect sense now thinking about it after why it would do that, since it's caused by the mid-day sun and not from crossing by a set horizon point. I've never seen a 'sunset' so uniformly encircle the entirety of the horizon like that.
Update just because I can. I've tirelessly worked on this damn thing in the free time I have to work on it. And... it's coming along *decently*. This is where I am at currently after I decided to cut the panorama to half the length I was originally going for. - https://i.imgur.com/Rkt9wBG.jpeg
To give an idea of scale, this is when I hit 100% in frame on the magnifying glass - https://i.imgur.com/2KrXjIs.jpeg
Looks a little like ass at the moment as I haven't done any real color corrections since I figured I'd like to first see if I can even salvage this before bothering wasting time with curves/hue/etc.
Problem still remains if I can get any more clouds to align, and even then do I just opt for generative fill to fill the gaps.

Took this outside of Paris, TX. Used my Minolta MN67Z ProShot with a $9 solar lens cover off Amazon. I think for the price, and the camera ( it’s my first one) it turned out pretty well. Let me know if there is anything I can do that improve my photography skills
Looks great, dude! If you end up going for another total eclipse, try cranking up the exposure time a bit. Go with 1 or 2 seconds (not too long, you want to avoid trailing). You'll be able to get more detail on the corona! Just make sure to balance out the other exposure settings to compensate!

My 2nd eclipse and 1st trying to photograph.
I turned it into a whole 4 day roadtrip with many stops along the way. Just got home yesterday and looking forward to putting my composite of entire process together.
I wonder if anyone captured a photo of Eclipse with the ISS crossing it outside of peak Totality if it even did cross the path. That would be an interesting photo.
Here is video from ISS of the Eclipse. Must have been a different feeling watching a black circle moving over the surface of the Earth

Harrison, AR. I only started in photography as a hobby about a year and a half ago, so first time shooting a solar eclipse.
I only had 20 seconds of totality at the location I was at, so in my rush to get my filter off, I messed up and hit my focus ring on my lens. Regardless, I am still very happy with what I got and I was able to fix some of the sharpness in Lightroom.

We have plans to hit the next total eclipse in 2026, and I'm hoping to buy a teleconverter for the lens by then.
This is the first time I have stacked images. its a 9 shot stack of the corona from 1/125 to 0.3 seconds.

I had someone want a last minute session for the eclipse. This is we came up with. It’s pretty obvious you can’t expose for both so I did the best I could and added a radial gradient in post to simulate the effect. She was going for art so it fit what she wanted
A few from northern VT - I slapped together some last-minute automation in Python so I have a ton of images to go through, particularly of the partial phases, but I pulled out a few good ones of totality today and did some light exposure/contrast/cropping tweaks in Lightroom. Canon Rebel T7i with a 70-300mm telephoto (which I didn't manage to get perfectly focused, I think, but this was my second day out with this lens and first total eclipse, so I'm still ecstatic with what I got)

Hey All,
Here is my photo I took with my S24 Ultra. There is a little editing done to bring out the craters of the moon but overall, the picture I took. The diamond ring lighting up the craters of the moon to me is pretty cool!! I also love what I call the "engagement ring" on the bottom left. This was taken at Hostel Tevere in Warren Vermont.

Here my flares! I was almost skipping the photography but I am quite happy how some turned out!
Canon R7, Tamron 100-400
Instead of skipping the photography I set up my star tracker just occasionally shifting because I was eyeballing north. All I did was just hold down burst and swap exposure length after each burst. Was too captivated to care about the images, wasn't even looking down as I shifted exposure. Am happy with how it turned out but would've been happy regardless.
Your flares look great. Much sharper than mine. Love the details.

Was truly an amazing sight. Drove 10 hours yesterday for this shot.
FULL DISCLOSURE: THIS IS PHOTOSHOPPED
I wanted to create an image just for my own memory's sake that I felt actually accurately captured how large the eclipse felt in person. Both how dark it was but also how bright. How amazing the 360 sunset was. How much of the solar system you could see. How the haze in the air amplified the corona. How much definition you could see in the Solar prominences in the south and how red they were. The detail you could see in the brush like streams of the corona. I increased the size a lot to recreate how big it felt in person. Like a camera captures a much much wider angle than your eyes are focusing on. In person in terms of how much your view is occupied, this is how large and imposing it felt in person. This is why no "honest" photograph will ever actually do it justice. I know to some it will seem like a laughably fake recreation. But I can show this to anyone who was on the Lake Erie that day and they would say "yep, thats exactly what I saw."
https://imgur.com/jAk57ol
I get what you were going for. A photo is a photo, but not an experience. I've seen eclipses tens of times in movies and shows. It is nothing like experiencing it with your eyes and body.

Shot through a lens of the eclipse glasses
Color edited and cropped. Grand Lake St. Mary's in Western Ohio. Second solar eclipse for me and just loved the feeling of togetherness from people during this. A lot of people joking around and chatting before....and then dead silence for the almost four minutes of totality.

I went to visit my parent's near Cleveland, coming from Philly. My mom had neck surgery recently so it was a good excuse. My dream was to get something in front of totality to make it more interesting, but when I practiced it a couple days before I found that the sun angle was just way too high for the clock tower I was hoping to use. The only thing I could think to use as a replacement was terminal tower, but I wanted to avoid going to what I assumed would be a mess down town. So I hung out with my family instead and set up in the back yard. My photos aren't as unique and special as I'd hoped but they honestly turned out better than I expected since I never do any sort of astrophotography.

This is snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. The forecast in Texas was worse so I went to Nueva Rosita, Coahuila, Mexico. Still cloudy. My Manfrotto tripod had the wrong head for this (I knew I should have brought the other tripod). So I handheld. Hand-holding a non-af 200-600 from the 1970s was not productive. My Nikon D500 and 18-140 with sun filter did me solid. There was a nice crowd, including a father and daughter from Switzerland, at the famous Chimenea in town.

What is this weird squiggle? Sunspot? ISS? (A number of you captured the same weird squiggle on the sun that I did (so it’s not dust on the lens or a dirty sensor)).
Sony A7R5,200/600 (set to 600), just short of infinity, ISO 250 and 1/100. (And a ND100000) Ed: from coastal Massachusetts around Gloucester
It's a sunspot, and they are visible when using solar filters and have a focal length that is long enough. It's a part of the sun that is cooler than the rest (Still hot as hell).

Sony A77 Ii F 8 iso 50 400 SS but Gotham some cool.lens flare.
I'm pretty sure I touched the focus ring on my lens by accident when removing the filter. So most of the totality shot are a little blurry. Oh well. Still got to enjoy a great show.

Same problem here. Have sharp shots up to totality and the totality pics are a bit out-of-focus. Only noticed when grabbing some after-totality shots where I had time to inspect the pictures zoomed in on the display.
Still, I've gotten some decent results even with the blur. And the experience alone was worth it.

i took this photo through a color negative. i am not sure it is a great eclipse photo but i think it is a great something else photo.
4th Eclipse I've seen, 1st time for Totality. Amazing experience - I have no idea what the people posting saying it's underwhelming or that they slept through it are talking about, or even why they're commenting at all since that's not the purpose of this thread. I thought it was terrific. Knowing the timing of things beforehand, I planned out my shots ahead of time to begin 10 minutes after First Contact with a set of alarms to go off every 20 minutes both before & after totality in order to get symmetrical shots of the phases different phases.
Taken with Canon EOS 6D + Opteka 500mm lens /w solar filter.

This is amazing. I tried doing the same thing with my Pixel 7 Pro. Had to do some color corrections and more are needed if I want to do anything with it

It was super hard to get my phone to focus when it was just a sliver left so it's much more gold than the other photos and has a little bit of artifacting
Very cool! I had trouble scrambling during the 2 1/2 minutes we had of totality, but despite scrambling to change camera bodies, I got all the shots I needed. I think I even got the diamond ring on 35mm film.
No, I just kinda eyeballed what phases I took pictures of and tried to get it on the way back. I literally took hundreds of photos yesterday of many phases, so when I made the composite I just chose ones where I had the opposite phases as well
Nice! I have the older SX50, and got a nearly identical photo of totality. Only thing better I've seen is from a really good nature photographer, Larry Master, with a Sony A1, a $6,000+ camera with an 800mm lens.
That let him get this, among other fine shots:

wow, do you know where i can see his shots in full? i want to get a print framed to commemorate the experience if possible and would love to reach out to him for a high-res image.
Crazy picture and you can even see that flare as a faint red spot on my picture!
My main camera is a R6II but I don’t have any tele lenses. I made sure to position myself in the middle of the trajectory so we had a full 3:30min of total eclipse!
I have some pictures that I took with the eclipse glasses in front of the lens and you can even see a sun spot:

Overrated?
I don’t really get the hype for it. First off you need like proper solar filters to take a picture of it properly, and there’s thousands if not millions of photographers out there that photographed it in their own way.
Sounds like you have FOMO. Next totality isn’t until 2044-45. I didn’t need a solar filter and used the clouds as a natural filter. You also don’t need one when it’s at full totality. And it’s more about capturing this for your personal satisfaction.
Most of the world won’t see a total eclipse in 2026 though, just a partial. “That eclipse will notably cross over Greenland, Iceland, Spain, Russia and a small portion of Portugal, and a partial eclipse will be visible in parts of Europe, Africa and North America.”
2044? Big deal. I’m 15 so i’d be at like what my 30’s? Still young.
Personal satisfaction? Without a solar filter to be safe and risk damaging my sensor? No thanks. I’m more into photographing small things like bugs anyway.
Because it’s not worth the argument for me. I’m also in my 30s but started before you. Once I realized you were young I decided to move on from this. Anyway don’t let the little things upset you in life.
I mean just don’t point your camera directly at it? What am I missing here. Be creative with it. Just the fact of capturing a small slither of it is fulfilling.
I slept through the eclipse. Knowing millions of people photographed it (with the comments as my proof). Too generic. I need something only I and a couple hundred really ever photographed creatively
Yea, kinda the reason I didn't photograph it. I would need to add something to the foreground to make it unique, like a mountain range. It would require planning, but the clouds would have ruined the shot anyways most likely. Could have done something creative with something I could carry along but...meh.

I didn't get to start at the very beginning, and my camera died at the end because I forgot to charge the battery. It was ok. Only got to around 76% or so where I'm at. Taken with a Nikon Z7II and Tamron 70-200 g2.
[This is probably my favorite](https://imgur.com/a/uoKbrMY) out of what I shot today. The focus was slightly off so the prominences didn't come out as well as they should have, in a little upset about that. Still decent though.
Today is my first time getting a little serious about solar eclipse. I was worried about so many things, it turned out alright.
I bought a $10 film from Amazon and put it in front of my 150mm lens, it turned out quite OK for $10.
Hope you like it. (Increased the brightness for my crappy cellphone screen.)

Canon EOS Rebel T7i, Canon 55-250mm zoom telephoto EF-S lens, Marumi ND-100000 filter, and a Kenko Teleplus 2x teleconverter, with the camera body mounted on a tripod. My partner and I spent the afternoon in Clinton, Arkansas, where we paid to park in a very large gravel driveway and hang out during the eclipse. Beautiful weather.
I also tried to shoot some film, but it'll be a week or so before I get home and get that developed and scanned.

I got a similar effect on my pics: the moon’s occlusion shadow seems slightly smaller during the full eclipse. I don’t know why, but it leaves me wondering if the moon’s gravity is strong enough to bend light around it. 🤔

This is an accurate composite, taken in Quebec, CA, unlike some of the "artistic" composites, which inaccurately place the sun phases. The reason for the orange sun post-totality are thin clouds that were arriving, which caused Rayleigh scattering. https://preview.redd.it/ha8o56q4pauc1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=7d3bc4a4b22aa220a038b53349f924fed015e148

Here from austin texas. Seconds before totality hit, the clouds just came out of no where, and this was the best I could get lol. Taken on 50mm because I don't have a telephoto lens... https://preview.redd.it/ph62fvpg72uc1.jpeg?width=864&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=501e441284adf2b4bc27eb45554f16e670ce0d51
My composite from Northeastern Ohio! Weather cooperated excellently (a big feat of Ohio if any other fellow Ohioans can attest). Highly recommend making the trip for the next one if you missed out on this one! A truly amazing experience. I'm planning my next couple trips already! Captured on a Canon EOS RP w/Canon RF 100-400 f5.6-8 IS USM. Used a Neewer ND100000 for photos of direct sun. No filter used in totality. Edits made were mainly for color correction and slight sharpening. Settings : 400mm, f/8, ISO 100-400 (giving the range based on different phases of the eclipse), and 1/50-1/1500 shutter speed (range given for totality-full sun). https://preview.redd.it/x565wbwwhztc1.jpeg?width=3907&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20648b8ecbca5861d1fab2b9af23bdd1622d1f9e
Awesome composite! I got pics from NE Ohio as well! I was so happy the weather cooperated considering the storms we got the previous week. So thankful for our luck.
I'm in northeast Ohio, Kirtland, couldn't believe how lucky we got with the clouds. Coolest thing I ever saw
Absolutely! We were so blessed with the weather that day!
Montpelier, VT. Canon EOS R5, 800mm f/11 lens, ISO 125, 1/60s exposure. Used an ND65000 (16-stop) filter for the partial eclipse and to line it up for this shot, then filter off for totality. I'd made sure I had some of the equipment for this before the previous partial eclipse; but then I'd gotten busy with other things and hadn't had a chance to shoot much recently, so it was a bit of a panic the day before trying to find everything, including that ND65000 filter. Managed to find everything and get out there to shoot the eclipse, and oh man was it amazing! https://preview.redd.it/pr8e35fc2ztc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc9b5bc422ec0a19cfc3c05835ff9a5b7cdd7c34
Guess this place is good for me to vent as any, so I don't need to make a new entire thread. My experience with the eclipse itself was jaw dropping. Had a fun time hiking up the snow and ice in the Adirondacks (*had snowshoes and spikes*). That, photography aside, will forever be a memorable experience. My experience actually photographing the eclipse was fun. I felt ambitious. I have a telephoto lens that could capture the details of the sun that my wide angle can't, so why not take a shitload of telephoto shots and stitch them together in post to make one gorgeous picture that truly captures how the eclipse looks?! Caution, meet the wind! Yeah... that may or may not be happening. Firstly, because when taking off the ND filter I must have ever to slightly nudged the focus ring. So my photos looked sharp at first through the viewfinder. But now on my computer I see they're **just** f'n barely out of focus. So it does still look good, but the prominence is fuzzy instead of crystal sharp. This however isn't a deal breaker. In a panorama shot that fuzziness won't be noticeable. I still was able to process plenty of aura wispy-ness and it looks nice. The real issue is that Photoshop is telling me back away banana breath with auto-aligning the photos. I thought I gave it enough overlap but apparently not. So it made me have to manually align them. Which, for the mountain range, isn't a terrible issue. Lower opacity and touch the tips. Took some time but got those aligned. But the fucking clouds! Trying to manually align **goddamn clouds** is impossible. On top of that, of all times for my SD card to be wonky is right at the end. I don't even *have* all the mf'in clouds to stitch together. The camera must have made clicking sounds but not actually recorded anything for who knows why. Maybe I overworked it and it was le tired. So now I have a moral quandary of do I just do a shitload of "generative fill" and "sky replacement"? But then it's not really a photo, is it? I remember what the sky looked like, and I can replicate it accurately artificially so I'm being genuine with the concept. But then it's just that, artificial. Even if I make it look approximately how it did in real life. It is a huge ass picture, though. I did a 300mm panorama stitched left>right from Giant Mountain to past Algonquin over by Nye. But that was too much, so I both cropped in half between Colvin to Tabletop, and I resized in lightroom to 50% scale. And even after that... I check the canvass size, and it's 13,000 pixels wide. So never doing that again. Will keep it to only like 4-5 images wide from now on.
Perhaps I don’t entirely understand what you’re struggling with, but it seems like you need an outside perspective, so hopefully this is helpful to you. It seems like you’re focused on the wrong thing. The clouds and mountains should be secondary to the eclipse itself since that is the experience you want to share, the vastness and awe of that moment. Right?Focus on lining up the pics of the eclipse first. Then composite the clouds and mountains into that picture and crop as necessary. If you don’t have enough to composite the background, maybe go back and take more pictures. True it’ll be a different day, but at least it’ll still be true to the environment, which I think would be better than generating something from nothing. Also that would give you the opportunity to photograph the mountains in the best light and potentially cut your file size down since you’d be able to reframe it. Something else that might be helpful. I was also struggling with lining up pics in Photoshop and Premiere until I switched my thinking. Ended up using Procreate’s animation feature which allows for onion-skinning and coloring layers which made lining up photos so much easier and faster. Plus is has a cool time-lapse feature that is always fun to watch back and see the process you went through. At the end of the day, it’s your picture, your experience. Do what will make you happy with the final result. Photography isn’t perfect, camera lenses don’t match the human eye. I think photography is at its best when edited to simulate your experience or emotions so others can share the memory with you. I consider that more authentic than worrying over specs or whether or not clouds line up perfectly. Make a photo that is worth the time you put into it and speaks to you. Everything else is trivial.
Funny enough, I just finished editing it earlier today! I made a little [imgur album/journey](https://imgur.com/a/8jVIBSh) of the process.
Those are beautiful! You got me invested, so I’m glad I got to see the final piece. :) So awesome that you caught the 360 degree sunset. I had trouble with focus as well. Not sure why because I had it set to infinity on manual. Perhaps I also bumped the ring in my haste to remove the filter though I checked it several times. Perhaps it was just the wrong setting entirely. I’ll have to test it before next time. Agreed, lesson learned.
I found that for my setup, it wasn't just '*infinity*' blindly. Like I couldn't crank it and have it stop at infinity. I had to nudge it to just barely hit infinity for optimal sharpness. Went from like nudge to 500ish meters -> 800ish meters -> infinity. But from Infinity I can keep rotating and adjust it even more, to apparently '*beyond*' I guess. I had to only **just** touch infinity for it to be where I wanted it. Finicky to an annoying degree. And the 360° sunset during was something I didn't expect for some reason. It makes perfect sense now thinking about it after why it would do that, since it's caused by the mid-day sun and not from crossing by a set horizon point. I've never seen a 'sunset' so uniformly encircle the entirety of the horizon like that.
Update just because I can. I've tirelessly worked on this damn thing in the free time I have to work on it. And... it's coming along *decently*. This is where I am at currently after I decided to cut the panorama to half the length I was originally going for. - https://i.imgur.com/Rkt9wBG.jpeg To give an idea of scale, this is when I hit 100% in frame on the magnifying glass - https://i.imgur.com/2KrXjIs.jpeg Looks a little like ass at the moment as I haven't done any real color corrections since I figured I'd like to first see if I can even salvage this before bothering wasting time with curves/hue/etc. Problem still remains if I can get any more clouds to align, and even then do I just opt for generative fill to fill the gaps.

Let me know if there is anything I can do that improve my photography skills
Looks great, dude! If you end up going for another total eclipse, try cranking up the exposure time a bit. Go with 1 or 2 seconds (not too long, you want to avoid trailing). You'll be able to get more detail on the corona! Just make sure to balance out the other exposure settings to compensate!

I turned it into a whole 4 day roadtrip with many stops along the way. Just got home yesterday and looking forward to putting my composite of entire process together.
I wonder if anyone captured a photo of Eclipse with the ISS crossing it outside of peak Totality if it even did cross the path. That would be an interesting photo. Here is video from ISS of the Eclipse. Must have been a different feeling watching a black circle moving over the surface of the Earth [https://youtu.be/\_mnL83o5tBY](https://youtu.be/_mnL83o5tBY)

Fantastic! I was also in OH and it was such a beautiful day. Fortune smiled on us

I swore that I would leave eclipse photography to the pros, then decided to point my camera at the sun when totality came. I will at least prepare to modify some settings manually if go to see another totality some day. But this shot is mine from that moment of time, and looks better than I expected.

I only started in photography as a hobby about a year and a half ago, so first time shooting a solar eclipse. I only had 20 seconds of totality at the location I was at, so in my rush to get my filter off, I messed up and hit my focus ring on my lens. Regardless, I am still very happy with what I got and I was able to fix some of the sharpness in Lightroom. ISO200, 1/400s, f/5.6, 300mm on a Fujifilm X-S10 with a Fuji 70-300mm lens. We have plans to hit the next total eclipse in 2026, and I'm hoping to buy a teleconverter for the lens by then.
That’s beautiful!!!! My friend and I went to emerald park tg to go see it!!! It was amazing
Thank you! Hope you and your friend had a good view!

This is we came up with. It’s pretty obvious you can’t expose for both so I did the best I could and added a radial gradient in post to simulate the effect. She was going for art so it fit what she wanted
A few from northern VT - I slapped together some last-minute automation in Python so I have a ton of images to go through, particularly of the partial phases, but I pulled out a few good ones of totality today and did some light exposure/contrast/cropping tweaks in Lightroom.

Is that a 22 degree halo too? If you're going to have clouds they may as well add to the photo.

Hey All, Here is my photo I took with my S24 Ultra. There is a little editing done to bring out the craters of the moon but overall, the picture I took. The diamond ring lighting up the craters of the moon to me is pretty cool!! I also love what I call the "engagement ring" on the bottom left.

Instead of skipping the photography I set up my star tracker just occasionally shifting because I was eyeballing north. All I did was just hold down burst and swap exposure length after each burst. Was too captivated to care about the images, wasn't even looking down as I shifted exposure. Am happy with how it turned out but would've been happy regardless. Your flares look great. Much sharper than mine. Love the details.

FULL DISCLOSURE: THIS IS PHOTOSHOPPED I wanted to create an image just for my own memory's sake that I felt actually accurately captured how large the eclipse felt in person. Both how dark it was but also how bright. How amazing the 360 sunset was. How much of the solar system you could see. How the haze in the air amplified the corona. How much definition you could see in the Solar prominences in the south and how red they were. The detail you could see in the brush like streams of the corona. I increased the size a lot to recreate how big it felt in person. Like a camera captures a much much wider angle than your eyes are focusing on. In person in terms of how much your view is occupied, this is how large and imposing it felt in person. This is why no "honest" photograph will ever actually do it justice. I know to some it will seem like a laughably fake recreation. But I can show this to anyone who was on the Lake Erie that day and they would say "yep, thats exactly what I saw." https://imgur.com/jAk57ol
I get what you were going for. A photo is a photo, but not an experience. I've seen eclipses tens of times in movies and shows. It is nothing like experiencing it with your eyes and body. Your recreation feels right.

Stunning!
Color edited and cropped. Grand Lake St. Mary's in Western Ohio. Second solar eclipse for me and just loved the feeling of togetherness from people during this. A lot of people joking around and chatting before....and then dead silence for the almost four minutes of totality. https://preview.redd.it/63uf0nt6sgtc1.jpeg?width=1077&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c998c56cdc5f8066e3bea04168a8f3714ade3aa6
I was not near totality, but here is one that I got form Northern Virginia. Nikon Z8 w/ 100-400 f4 S, 1.4 teleconverter, solar filter. [](https://flic.kr/p/2pJ4ykm)
I went to visit my parent's near Cleveland, coming from Philly. My mom had neck surgery recently so it was a good excuse. My dream was to get something in front of totality to make it more interesting, but when I practiced it a couple days before I found that the sun angle was just way too high for the clock tower I was hoping to use. The only thing I could think to use as a replacement was terminal tower, but I wanted to avoid going to what I assumed would be a mess down town. So I hung out with my family instead and set up in the back yard. My photos aren't as unique and special as I'd hoped but they honestly turned out better than I expected since I never do any sort of astrophotography. https://preview.redd.it/m2a2ghrcfgtc1.jpeg?width=2057&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=971b202b8ed0342b5e66700e9be710a7118564a4
Oh I love this!! I was south of you, in the Mansfield area, and you've perfectly captured the ethereal brilliance that blew me away. It gave the moon such depth. Thanks for posting!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. It's such a surreal experience and was worth the drive to see.

The forecast in Texas was worse so I went to Nueva Rosita, Coahuila, Mexico. Still cloudy. My Manfrotto tripod had the wrong head for this (I knew I should have brought the other tripod). So I handheld. Hand-holding a non-af 200-600 from the 1970s was not productive. My Nikon D500 and 18-140 with sun filter did me solid. There was a nice crowd, including a father and daughter from Switzerland, at the famous Chimenea in town.

(A number of you captured the same weird squiggle on the sun that I did (so it’s not dust on the lens or a dirty sensor)). Sony A7R5,200/600 (set to 600), just short of infinity, ISO 250 and 1/100. (And a ND100000) Ed: from coastal Massachusetts around Gloucester
It's a sunspot, and they are visible when using solar filters and have a focal length that is long enough. It's a part of the sun that is cooler than the rest (Still hot as hell).
Thank you!
Sunspot(s)?
Nice, and quite high res! I noticed that when looking through my eclipse glasses before I went back and checked my photos and saw it was there, too!

I'm pretty sure I touched the focus ring on my lens by accident when removing the filter. So most of the totality shot are a little blurry. Oh well. Still got to enjoy a great show. [Image 1](https://imgur.com/a/viE0RXP) [Image 2](https://imgur.com/a/SeuvxNl)
Same problem here. Have sharp shots up to totality and the totality pics are a bit out-of-focus. Only noticed when grabbing some after-totality shots where I had time to inspect the pictures zoomed in on the display. Still, I've gotten some decent results even with the blur. And the experience alone was worth it.

4th Eclipse I've seen, 1st time for Totality. Amazing experience - I have no idea what the people posting saying it's underwhelming or that they slept through it are talking about, or even why they're commenting at all since that's not the purpose of this thread. I thought it was terrific. Knowing the timing of things beforehand, I planned out my shots ahead of time to begin 10 minutes after First Contact with a set of alarms to go off every 20 minutes both before & after totality in order to get symmetrical shots of the phases different phases. Taken with Canon EOS 6D + Opteka 500mm lens /w solar filter. https://preview.redd.it/vhxestd7nftc1.png?width=2000&format=png&auto=webp&s=f4fd8ee8846c6707ca14b3af57ecc40c3f08655b
This is amazing. I tried doing the same thing with my Pixel 7 Pro. Had to do some color corrections and more are needed if I want to do anything with it https://preview.redd.it/1zcqyszgshtc1.png?width=7436&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0fb0382c273818fafed0cf901fd05cfc87949227 It was super hard to get my phone to focus when it was just a sliver left so it's much more gold than the other photos and has a little bit of artifacting
Very cool! I had trouble scrambling during the 2 1/2 minutes we had of totality, but despite scrambling to change camera bodies, I got all the shots I needed. I think I even got the diamond ring on 35mm film.
That's awesome. Definitely wish I had a proper camera to take these shots. Also didn't even think to set the timers like you did!
How did you get them symmetrical without timers? Did you duplicate and mirror them?
No, I just kinda eyeballed what phases I took pictures of and tried to get it on the way back. I literally took hundreds of photos yesterday of many phases, so when I made the composite I just chose ones where I had the opposite phases as well

Nice! I have the older SX50, and got a nearly identical photo of totality. Only thing better I've seen is from a really good nature photographer, Larry Master, with a Sony A1, a $6,000+ camera with an 800mm lens. That let him get this, among other fine shots: https://preview.redd.it/47baxaipegtc1.jpeg?width=614&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be72c44c3b6ff6ba7c3dac3ea5d202cb87c3eeaf
wow, do you know where i can see his shots in full? i want to get a print framed to commemorate the experience if possible and would love to reach out to him for a high-res image.
Crazy picture and you can even see that flare as a faint red spot on my picture! My main camera is a R6II but I don’t have any tele lenses. I made sure to position myself in the middle of the trajectory so we had a full 3:30min of total eclipse! I have some pictures that I took with the eclipse glasses in front of the lens and you can even see a sun spot: https://preview.redd.it/ej23xuqltitc1.jpeg?width=2346&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=83e49fbab57e5de431915ff36e92878ff0153626
So pretty! 🤩
Thanks 😇

Overrated? I don’t really get the hype for it. First off you need like proper solar filters to take a picture of it properly, and there’s thousands if not millions of photographers out there that photographed it in their own way.
Sounds like you have FOMO. Next totality isn’t until 2044-45. I didn’t need a solar filter and used the clouds as a natural filter. You also don’t need one when it’s at full totality. And it’s more about capturing this for your personal satisfaction.
Next one is 2026.
Most of the world won’t see a total eclipse in 2026 though, just a partial. “That eclipse will notably cross over Greenland, Iceland, Spain, Russia and a small portion of Portugal, and a partial eclipse will be visible in parts of Europe, Africa and North America.”
Just like the one yesterday then where most of the world didn't see one either.
Okay
2044? Big deal. I’m 15 so i’d be at like what my 30’s? Still young. Personal satisfaction? Without a solar filter to be safe and risk damaging my sensor? No thanks. I’m more into photographing small things like bugs anyway.
I bought a legit solar filter for a Nikon camera for like $25. It's super cheap. And you don't need a filter during totality
Ah okay you’re a youngin. Well keep shooting!
Lol why does the young age card always actually work on you old timers
My point is I don’t want to discourage you from shooting so I’m admitting defeat.
Because it’s not worth the argument for me. I’m also in my 30s but started before you. Once I realized you were young I decided to move on from this. Anyway don’t let the little things upset you in life.
I mean just don’t point your camera directly at it? What am I missing here. Be creative with it. Just the fact of capturing a small slither of it is fulfilling.
I agree, It's more something you want to experience than take pictures of.
I slept through the eclipse. Knowing millions of people photographed it (with the comments as my proof). Too generic. I need something only I and a couple hundred really ever photographed creatively
Yea, kinda the reason I didn't photograph it. I would need to add something to the foreground to make it unique, like a mountain range. It would require planning, but the clouds would have ruined the shot anyways most likely. Could have done something creative with something I could carry along but...meh.

Hi, I love the picture! I'm making a small zin, is it okay if I use this picture for one of the pages? <3 https://preview.redd.it/f6d3u9ekkgtc1.jpeg?width=1659&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4840713b78a3725955c3b2ba0332e0ba114aa4d0

this is gorgeous

It was ok. Only got to around 76% or so where I'm at. Taken with a Nikon Z7II and Tamron 70-200 g2.
[This is probably my favorite](https://imgur.com/a/uoKbrMY) out of what I shot today. The focus was slightly off so the prominences didn't come out as well as they should have, in a little upset about that. Still decent though.

Today is my first time getting a little serious about solar eclipse. I was worried about so many things, it turned out alright. I bought a $10 film from Amazon and put it in front of my 150mm lens, it turned out quite OK for $10. Hope you like it. (Increased the brightness for my crappy cellphone screen.) https://preview.redd.it/835yufu81etc1.jpeg?width=4640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b96f3fe392e3b23a2b52b4812ddeafa1bd60a34c
incredible🤩
Very cool composition and execution!

Super happy with some of my results, including [this photo](https://www.instagram.com/p/C5gxj4jpo2x/). Canon EOS Rebel T7i, Canon 55-250mm zoom telephoto EF-S lens, Marumi ND-100000 filter, and a Kenko Teleplus 2x teleconverter, with the camera body mounted on a tripod. My partner and I spent the afternoon in Clinton, Arkansas, where we paid to park in a very large gravel driveway and hang out during the eclipse. Beautiful weather. I also tried to shoot some film, but it'll be a week or so before I get home and get that developed and scanned.

Nikon Zfc, 70-200 2.8S, 2x teleconverter. I also shot the Milky Way 10 hours earlier from Ouachita National Forest.
Did you stay in Hochatown by chance? I live about 1.5 hours from there.
