2017 Eclipse Pictures

[qzgy]

Seeing as today's the day and how much interest/excitement there is, it would be nice for everyone who is experiencing it to share their pictures of the 2017 Solar Eclipse

 

Mods: if this needs to moved or merged, do as you wish.

I'm going to image this eclipse as much as I possibly can, including the partial eclipse through a solar filtered telescope at the University of South Carolina. However, since I'll be away until the end of the week with just mobile access, I will not be able to upload any of my images until the weekend. Darn

Hey everyone. I got to witness a very rare event today: the total solar eclipse that has been hyped up for months. I got a few pictures, this is the best one I can post before I get home from said eclipse.

Amazing. Where I am, it was only a partial eclipse.

I'd cherish that photo if I were you! Next one's in 2045.

You can always chase the 2027 2024 one...

 

Does anyone got videos / pictures of surrounding areas during the eclipse ?

We just came out of totality. FYI, the next total eclipse visible from the USA is in 2024.

"totality... Ish"

[Just Jim]

From central Florida, about 70-80%.... the clouds are my friends!

[ProtoJeb21]

I got some GREAT pictures...but I won't be able to upload any until the weekend

My brother took a few shots of the eclipse with his camera and some glasses I bought. I'll see if I can upload them later.

Helps to live in totality zone and be married to a photographer.

A grey 2/3 sun sets in a grey horizon over a grey ocean. Calima weather, desert dust in the atmosphere. So it ends at 28N/18W.

No fancy equipment here (NJ USA). I used the clouds, which allowed a few quick glimpses here and there, to filter the few shots I got;

Nature's version of a pin-hole viewer, trees;

My own pin-hole viewer, a piece of paper with a hole poked in it with a pen. Worked just fine;

 

Back in the day (60's), I would use 3 B&W negatives, (2-1/4 square) fully exposed to light and then developed, to view and photograph eclipses. Works fine.

Did anyone catch any weird optical artifact in their images ?

[ExplorerKlatt]

Like what? If you look really close in the one I posted you can see the star regulus.

Like this :

I have seen this effect on at least another photo as well. This was taken during the solar eclipse last year where I live. Taken by my cousin.

2% sun coverage from here, and it's cloudy as hell  

[Bill Phil]

I saw totality, but I wasn't equipped to actually snap a picture of it. I almost had one, but I lost it just before I snapped the photo. Took lots of partial eclipse pics, though.

Oh, and threads on the same subject merged

After uploading most of my pics (had a camera too) here they are

Hmm, sure it is not an effect of the optics ? The green shimmer makes me think its a badly coated lens, like from a tablet or phone cam ... ?

It's from a phone. But I'm confident that the small crescent is from the sun and not from the optics. My uncle took a self-photo with the sun as the background on that day, largely unknowing of the eclipse, and I noticed the same thing appearing.

Phones don't have shutters ... it could be a reflection of the inner side of the lens, the coating filtered green out (you know, green is best seen by the human eye and thus must be amplified ;-)), and it's away from the axis because the phone was held slightly tilted during the shot.

But i can be totally wrong.

[CatastrophicFailure]

Obligatory:

 

Apparently I had the exposure settings off during the best part. 

[Johnny Wishbone]

Best image we could get of it at my home. Cloudy and only a partial eclipse here.

We're in the path of totality for the 2024 eclipse, so looking forward to that one. Plus, the kids will be old enough to appreciate it.
