First I want to say kudos to all those that got out there and took pictures whether they're good bad or indifferent. I saw the eclipse from Oregon and still didn't even try.
I think it had to do with all the hype in advance that was somewhat a turnoff. BUT after seeing it in real time I wished I HAD. The eclipse was magnificent!
And so now, what will you do with the images?

I actually have mine running on a slideshow program on a 42" TV in my store (I took a shot every 60 seconds from start to finish), have had MANY customers stand and watch the entire show, some multiple times. Its on a loop so it plays 24 hours a day. I have sold several prints of my "diamond ring" shot from the slideshow since I can print them while they wait.

I took pictures of watchers, not of what they were watching. They have gone into my file system just like all others I take.

The watchers were pretty interesting at my workplace.
I posted them on our photo website.

I took many pictures of the crowd... 35mm film i developed. I figured i was not equipped to capture the actual event ... And i was more interested in people watching.

Cheers!

Pics of a black circle surrounded by a white-ish circle and the occasional "ring effect"? If you were able to experience it live, then OK. But somehow it didn't happen for us in the UK! But to take pics? They all look the same.

To me there were 2-3 I found on DP Review (Aug 23rd) that were "stand out", and those I loved ....... take a look here ......

I took pictures of it just for the enjoyment I got from taking them. Like most of the pictures I take it is for my personal enjoyment of first taking them and then looking at them again. Occasionally I show them in the community I live in but for the most part, outside of my wife, I am the only one to see them.

It's the red flames that add interest and variety, but I don't see them in many photos...

I am going to composite several shots into one image and have a large print made.
