Awesome photo Mike. Like your use of the slow shutter speed.

Got a call this morning to come pick up my 3rd place ribbon; so just minutes ago took this photo with the ribbon on an unopened labeled bottle from the same batch as the entry bottle...

I wish I could take credit but just sharing.

That is a new pic from Erwin Buske Photography. Photo is from the Mt Rainer WA area.

All you photogs all geared up and ready for this solar eclipse next week? I'm anticipating some gems from you guys.

All you photogs all geared up and ready for this solar eclipse next week? I'm anticipating some gems from you guys.

I was supposed to go out to Beatrice, NE for the Eclipse, but other pressing issues forced me to cancel that trip.

I would have imaged it. (I'm a hobby Astronomer / Astrophotographer) I will be at work when it happens now, but luckily it looks like it was be at least somewhat sunny here and I can just go outside when it's happening.

I have a few of the paper Lunt solar glasses, but I also picked up a pair of Solar Binos. They are great for (10x mag) of the sun during the Eclipse, but as an Astronomer, I will have them for a lifetime.

Well, first the UAH Physics Department came through with a viewer for me and one for my wife.

But then, NASA came through with a gennie NASA "meatball" viewer and an in-depth Eclipse Kit! WHOA!!! A keeper kit, for posterity...

So I am all set! And I can trust that these viewers meet all the standards. If I drove an hour north of my farm, I'd be in totality. But no way am I going to subject myself to that traffic jam. I'll view it at 97-98% on campus Monday. Close enough.

You don't have much time. You need a hefty amount of "Eclipse Training" before Monday. This consist of sitting out on the patio with your Eclipse glasses on while drinking a cold one.

Don't forget the Eclipse wine!!!

Don't forget the Eclipse wine!!!

THAT is what's important...

Oh please, not here, too.

This image reminds me of a grouper I once had for dinner when my parents took us all to the Bahamas (I think I was in fourth grade). Sorta had a unintelligent look on it's face with it's mouth open. Maybe cooking it had something to do with it?

Hope this works!

Gotta play it safe

Heard someone say we'll get about 70% here in North Central, PA. To me not worth fussing over.

Seriously, be careful @RodnBoro and everyone else. 20 Seconds of Burning

Make sure that welding glass is at least #14. Your everyday welding glass is not #14. I was planning on using my welding helmet, too, until I found that out.

It was awesome. This picture cannot do it justice.

Yep. Very cool. We were also amazed when one of the two NASA observation jets raced above us on campus as we watched a 97.6% eclipse at work.

Looking forward to 2024, when I will be retired and can travel 200 miles west to see one in totality! The last eclipse I viewed was back in 1979, about a 50% partial from my hometown in northern Illinois. This was way better.

I was sort of amazed at how people just came out for the height of it and then went back in. I watched the whole 1-1/2 hour show. Now where can I store these eclipse glasses until 2024, so I will remember where they are? Hmmm.
