Yeah I got emotional watching everyone on TV getting stoked about it. I think itβs that millions of people joined together to experience something joyful. We knew when it would end. Unlike with COVID, we experienced it together but it was very unknown. Just shows, turn to nature when in chaos
Same! I was outside with my partner because our little town was thankfully *right* inside the umbra. We witnessed totality and i got the biggest lump in my throat. It was just so mesmerizing. Almost felt like a perspective shift.
What gets me is thinking how prehistoric people must have felt as this ominous black thing suddenly rips the sun out of the sky. Like something is really wrong. Not normal levels of wrong (like a thunderstorm or intense hail). But a whole new level of wrong that was previously unknown.
Okay so just in case I wanna take a few pictures like that, next time an eclipse rolls around here, what filter would you recommend for the camera so I don't melt my lenses/camera?
Cool! You got fantastic results. I got started too late to buy CaptureEclipse, so I ended up hacking up ptp control code in python with a manual geared tripod head.
Incredible! We were only able to see glimpses of the totality through clouds, which was magical and awe-inspiring, but didn't leave much time for photography.
What an amazing set of shots! What is your set up for this? I would love to try some photography like this in the future, but i am beyond a newbie to a space like this.

Itβsβ¦ itβs just so awe inspiring.
Like, I felt like my life had changed after seeing the one in 2017.
I was *emotional*, which was not something anyone warned me would happen.
We didn't go this time around, but I'm already planning on seeing the one in Iceland in a couple years.
(These look absolutely amazing ππ)

During totality is fine, but don't look through an SLR viewfinder (an electronic viewfinder is OK to use.)
Outside of totality use a filter. For non-telescopic lenses the filters for eyeglasses work fine
