Eclipse question

In addition to removing the filter during totality, you still need an exposure that works.
My guess is that you were grossly under exposed.
Sorry you missed it, but you did SEE it, We all screw up from time to time'

Yep. I told myself that I wasn’t going to stress out shooting it, and I didn’t. But I still am mad at my camera live view for lying to me, lol. When I shot the 2017 eclipse I *did* change SS during totality.
Live and learn…

Shot in RAW Manual. Increased the temperature setting to warm in LR.
Thanks.
I thought I had my D850 set to RAW and when I downloaded, found out they were jpeg.
Somehow I managed to change the setting.

That darn little QUAL on the top left. It’s a killer.

Sad to say. I think that somehow for some reason that’s what I did.
Although not the same, you can open the jpegs in “camera raw” selection and get a few benefits that way.

That's the same one https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/solar/2026-august-12
With Spain, Iceland & Greenland all getting at least 6.5 minutes totality & parts of Russia & Portugal managing at least some too. (As usually the case it's mostly over the sea)
It will only be ~90% for my home so a trip abroad is being planned :)

OK, so there is a "take-away" here that has many applications beyond the eclipse. Leading up to the eclipse, practice your settings and shots. Practice full sun - practice high clouds. Actually, other than totality, you could simulate the entire 3 hours minus 4 minutes.
Despite practice, what caught me off guard was mid-level clouds. I had to adjust my reasoning that if you could not see the sun with solar glasses on, then take the filter off...and on...and off... I made constant adjustments between manual and aperture, fix versus auto ISO, speed, etc.
