This is wonderfully done. Did you plan to get the sun when it was covered right at the peak of that tall rock formation. I’m also curious how did you get all those images on One frame I’ve seen this before and love the way it’s done. Anyway, wonderful capture.

Yes, well done! Might you have a more close-up right at the annular eslipse point? --Richard

Why is the sun changing color/intensity as the phase changes?

Bruce, The magic of photoshop. I took the background photo at the end of the eclipse. I darkened the foreground to match what I recall during the height of the eclipse, interestingly there were a few birds flying around and they stopped and it got very quiet during totality. I shot the whole eclipse and selected the 17 images at various stages. I had to size them to fit my background image and also had to change the background color to match where I placed in in the sky. I used a layer to draw a line to match what the PhotoPills App indicated the line would be and each of 17 shots are their own layer so I could place them in the correct position. It is not perfect, but I am happy with the results. I will attach a copy of the predicted path the eclipse will take from our shooting location, pretty darn accurate. Note, I shot from a slightly higher location to ensure the totality was at the top of the spire. Check the App out only $10. Let me know if there are any other questions, I have another image of where we were form the overlook. Thanks, Gary

Unfortunately, it depends on where on the filter the image was recorded. I had to constantly change the camera on tripod in relation to the sun movement and some images where colored slightly different. These were the best I had in this position, I did not try to match colors as I did not want to edit other than crop and match background color to match the sky position. Not a professional, an amateur. Gary

Gary;
Thank you for the very detailed reply and for taking time to do this. I have the Adobe subscription but do not know how to use Photoshop, I guess I never needed to yet. But after seeing what you did I am getting an itch.
I live in the DFW area so this Aprils total will come right over us and will be on the patio or somewhere and get it.
Did you see my posts about the home made solar filters I made ? Worked good for the annular we had a few weeks ago. Anyway I love the work you did.
Bruce.

Bruce,
I did. I bought one prior to your post and it has a dimple in it and took lousy shots, so I had to replace it with the orange back-up I bought. Where did you get the mylar film, I would like to cut the filter out and replace it with some new film. I won't be around for the April one, but who knows in the future.
Thanks,
Gary
