Some Solar eclipse results. Did you properly use a ND Solar filter for the partialities and remove for the totality?

Great images... I had partiality so I ordered a few higher end solar glasses for my wife and I.
Just sat back and enjoyed it.

An edit out of my shots of the total solar eclipse, here in Grapevine , Texas, USA. I had to dodge the cloud cover all the time, but had a few breaks where the eclipse came through the clouds and haze. 1:40pm CDT for the totality. First the totality with the Solar Prominences , then Second as the sun re- emerges though the cloud cover and you can also see Solar Prominences erupting from the sun's surface.

Sony A1 camera, Sony 200-600mm lens, 600mm, f8, ISO 100, bracketed shutter speeds, AF, center area, on a Sirui tripod. I did use a K&F ND100000 Solar filter for the partialities, but removed it for these totality shots.

Solar Prominences are a bit different than Solar Flares, but solar prominences can become solar flares if they totally break free of the sun's surface.

Here an explanation of the difference:

Cheers and best to you all.

Just beyond cardboard...have real frames.

You would think they are ordinary sunglasses...until the 'walking into everything' happens.

Great shots. I did well with thigh the 2017 eclipse as it came through Oregon. We were only 20% for this one.

Nice work. I watched the eclipse from Lincoln ME but did not try to photograph it. I did notice a red spot near the bottom at the start of totality, and your image shows the details of what no doubt is a similar flare that my eyes just saw as an uncomfortably bright red spot.


Thanks so much
