Taken with Canon t6s, 55-250mm lens (at 250mm), F8, ISO 400, varying shutter speeds, using Marumi Solar Filter. With exception of first photo, everything else was cropped a bit.
Other than being truly hot all day, yesterday was incredible. The clouds were going in and out, and as you can see, the clearing sky right at the beginning of totality was perfect timing.

Truly fantastic photo series. I am very envious. Here in North Idaho we viewed the eclipse at about 95%.
Your images are beautiful.

Thank you! I didn't know how my prep was going to work out - better than expected. :)

Hi. I was in the public park in Cross Hill for the eclipse. I don't have any good pics of it from there. Would you be willing to send me copy's of what you took? Great pics by the way. Thanks

You must have been somewhere west of us because where I was in the public park all of the clouds had passed us and it was crystal clear for the whole totality. The clouds in your first pic where gone for us. What an amazing experience. Beautiful pics!

Don - Hi!
Thanks for the compliments - it's neat we were in the same area! I was part of the crowd at Lady Amelia's B&B. That was one hot day yesterday, wasn't it? That looks like some nice shade in that last pic!
Today, I'm just kind of reflecting on the experience and how I just feel so lucky to have been there for it. Still just amazed by what we experienced, and that I got "souvenirs" in my camera. The solar flares were completely unexpected.
I worked up a plan, and had no idea how effective it might be. I could've done a few things a little better, but overall, I'm way more than satisfied. Can't wait for 2024 - going to be quite on top of it, versus this year, when I first heard about it this past spring.
I've got a few more shots and some commentary I posted on my site today, bill.photography .

Yes it was a hot one but I am from St pete FL so it was about normal for me. I only started planning to go see this about 3 weeks before it happened. I hope I get to see the next one and I will plan better also. Could you post a link to your sight. I would love to see the other pics. Thanks
