Series showing the development of the "diamond ring" feature as the eclipse came to an end. These are not equally spaced in time.
Equipment was a Nikon Z8 and 500/5.6 PF F with FTZ adapter. Hand help, which works well with this combination because of the compactness and light weight of the lens. This lens was used with a Nikon Z7 to take the birds in my portfolio.

dhroberts,
This is a really well done progressive set to get to the Diamond Ring. I'm glad you had clear skies.
I was off the coast of Mazatlan onboard an "expedition ship", which is just a fancy way of saying small ship with 190 passengers. The average clarity for April 8 over the last 20 years where we were is way up at 96%. As the clocks moved past midnight into April 8, one model predicted total clouds over the next 12 hr and the other just a 30% chance of clarity. It turned out to be wonderfully clear. My worst nightmare would be that I got clouded out in a place with one of the highest possibilities for clarity along the path and my mother-in-law in Springfield, OH has perfectly clear skies in a place with one of the lowest averages (33%) for clarity along the path. I would have saved a hell of a lot of money going to Springfield. Good news is it was clear in both locations. Long winded way to say thanks for sharing you work.

dhroberts,
Although I made comment on your work previously, I had forgotten to mention that I don't ever recall seeing a series of photos showing the evolution of the Diamond Ring Effect. Really cool.
