What will you do with your eclipse pictures?

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.
How much is a print?

I am going to composite several shots into one image and have a large print made.
I plan to do something similar. Would like to show the corona in a different way. I found this website that shows how to do it. http://www.astropix.com/html/j_digit/e_comp.html
I didn't do much preparation and used the camera automatic setting to get the images. I wanted take most of the moment with the family as well. I shot in ISO auto, 5.6 aperture and bracket 3 stops up and down, getting nine images for every burst. They turned out fairly well. Made some mistakes, but will be ready for the next one which goes right over my house.

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

Ditto here. I also watched the watchers. I shared those with co-workers.
I found other sensory perceptions interesting: the noticeable drop in temperature and the quality of light (I was at 99.2% of totality): eerily beautiful.

I took my daughter to Wyoming for the eclipse. It was her 14th birthday. I told her she would be able to blow out the biggest birthday candle in the solar system.
I got a couple of decent shots. I'm going to print them out for her just as a reminder of our trip. She was so amazed she forgot to blow. Just the look on her face at totality was worth the trip.

Lets hope lots of folk do post the shots they got and will allow downloads and retrieval of the same.
I at least hope they do, I shot some and they were ok but getting the gell correct turned out to be a real pain.

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 suspect one could sell them at a crafts / art fair. Most folks either have a point-and-shoot, or don't know how to use a DSLR to capture something like that.

Kinda plan to do a composite like Wkocken is planning.
Mostly I shoot stuff so that when my son finally puts me in a home I can look at my photos and wonder who took them.

They'll reside on the drives of a number of computers at home. I've shared a few, but they don't do justice to what we saw from the air near Salem, OR. Already making tentative plans for 2024.

I'm glad I got a few photos for my own memories, but I wish I'd spent more time just looking at it. It was really beautiful.

True that all eclipse pics (that are done right) pretty much look the same. This was my second total eclipse. The first was 1979 in Great Falls, MT (I was in the AF stationed at Malmstrom AFB, Great Falls. I decided to take pictures this time just to see how good I could do at it, being well aware mine would look like a million others. I used my Canon 7DII with a Sigma 150-600mm lens and a Firecrest Solar filter (18 stops). I managed to get a very good series of shots of the entire event. As soon as it went total, the filter came off and I ran through a series of different shutter speeds starting at 1/1000 all the way to 8 sec in 1-stop increments. In the fast shutter speed pics at the beginning I managed to get some good shots of "Bailey's Beads" and also some very nice solar prominences.
Because I know my pictures look no different than a million others, I have not posted them here, but I did post some pictures of the ranch in Wyoming where we (myself, wife and sister) were guests of the owner. I posted those "non eclipse" pictures in the Galery:

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!

Not true. Yes, we all were shooting the same sun, but not under the same conditions. There is a slight rotation effect to the moon along the path of totality. Where I was there were no Bailey's beads at second contact. And because of the clouds where l was at, the eclipse only rated at C or C+ and prevented any large corona shots. My C/C+ eclipse shots will look totally different from the A- or B+ eclipse shots just 25 miles east of where I was. And all these different conditions can produce some interesting and very different photographic results.

Print the best, file the rest.

Given that everyone will have seen exactly the same thing but in different cloud conditions, it would seem a pointless exercise. But to each individuals' descendants your pictures will show what captivated your attention at a moment of time and could convey an unspoken story abour you.
