I went to Chester, Illinois to take total eclipse photos. I was not disappointed! It was a phenomenal experience.

Your shots are better than the one's I saw posted on the various TV broadcasts that I watched yesterday. Congratulations!

Beautiful and excellent personal capture. I saw that same image you took on CNN News yesterday. They had news reporters in several US cities capturing the moment. There were parties, yells, and whistles from the eager crowds. One couple even got married outside during the event. Yes, the Universe does crazy things that we just love witnessing.

It was the fastest 2 minutes and 40 seconds, ever. Totality hit, and we took off the filters to get photos, and at the same time, everyone is whooping, hollering, and clapping. I looked up, and was absolutely amazed at the brilliant white light that the corona gave off. Trying to take photos from my camera and the drone kept me busy. It wasn't until after it got brighter that I heard all the crickets chirping loudly. Just an amazing experience, and well worth seeing.

Excellent work! I am really enjoying seeing the eclipse posts. It was cloudy where I am and we weren't able to see any of it. When I see the posts and read the comments the posters make about the experience I feel the excitement almost as if I had been there!

We were very fortunate. We saw clouds coming our way, but they all seemed to break up and disappear before they got near us.
Glad you liked the photos!
