For yesterday's eclipse, 4/8/2024, we didn't take any pictures, as the wise recommendation was to just enjoy the event, and not worry about camera settings. So, wife and I, with eclipse glasses, lay down in the middle of our street to watch. At totality, we took off the glasses.
What amazed me was the extent to which even a sliver of the sun (just before and just after totality) gave what was daylight, albeit much like dusk. So, long as the sliver was there, one could, if desired take a landscape picture. But as soon as totality came, BINGO, it went from day to night in an instant. WOW!
