Each image is a single photograph taken off the coast of Mazatlan, Mexico aboard a small expedition ship called the S.H. Diana. Eclipse photography from a boat doesn't offer anything approaching a stable environment. While I wanted to be as stable as possible, I also needed the ability to quickly move the camera in 3 dimensions due to the motion of the ship. With all that movement another requirement was quick dampening of the system with every move. I decided to purchase a gimbal head for my tripod and either sink or swim.

In the end, I was very pleased with the performance of the system that included:

ProMediaGear GKJr gimbal
Enduro carbon fiber tripod with dampening
Canon T7i camera body
Canon 100 - 400 mm f/4.5-5.6L is II usm lens
Canon EF extender 1.4x III
Firecrest IRND 18-stop Infrared Neutral Density Filter

Thanks for looking and always happy to learn what I could improve.

Thanks for the compliment odujim. Greatly appreciated. The ship really was a complicating factor with the photography.

Best,
