we went south and watched from 5 miles north of the centerline for a totality duration of 2:39. WAIT til you see Hebe's pix, utterly fantastic. halfway home in a motel right now. long, long journey but so worth it

On Reddit from a guy in Oregon.

I've been amped about the eclipse for months now.

This morning? This is what I saw when I drove to work:

You'd think this goes without saying, but, apparently, it needs sayin. :facepalm: Wait, don't do that either for pity's sake!

I know you all don't have much to compare this shot to, but I'm telling you, about fifteen minutes before maximum coverage (92% at my location) it became noticably dimmer. And definitely colder.

This was a bit closer to the maximum coverage and you can see it's darker still.

This is the best I got:

I may have overpromised on the "good pictures".

Oh yeah. The eclipse! It *did* happen, and I have the pics to prove it.


I made a pinhole camera and it worked well, but none of the pictures I took using it came out very well. And, I bought a welding helmet (see: personality twist that f*ck you up, subsection overpacking/compensation/fear of deprivation). I looked through it and I took pictures through it. My neighbor from the bakery brought over his colander. Top marks for creativity. And quantity.

The big brains said we could expect to see 92% coverage at our zip code. I took pictures before maximum,

and after. It was cool to watch the moon march across the sun.

I'm loving all these shots and can't wait to see Hebe's.

:)

1340 mile round trip -totally worth it

She took those with a regular point-and-shoot-type camera ...no super doper flashy mahoosive lens thingy or filters

not a $50 Wallyworld job, a $300 Canon, but pocket-sized.

She did good. :thumb:

She did very good.
