Equipment

Nikon D7000 ISO 100, 1/50th sec. at f/18, 300mm.

Description

From San Antonio, Texas, our best view of the May 20th solar eclipse would take place near sunset. At first, encroaching clouds could have proven troublesome. Instead, they painted the scene with their own fiery brushstrokes, adding to the celestial scene!

While others were looking at the sky, here is what was happening on earth! The shadows caused during the eclipse in Windsor, CA, were most assuredly unique, something I have never seen before.

May 20, 2012; 8:30 p.m. EDT

Equipment

80mm homebuilt refractor; standard camera tripod. Pentax K-r camera.

Description

The sun was 15 minutes from setting as the eclipse began in Frankfort, KY...but it disappeared into distant storm clouds just before the eclipse was to begin. A few minutes later, it showed up again briefly, allowing me to get this picture. How lucky I was to get this interesting shot, with only a small section of the sun eclipsed!

Equipment

Tree, Car

Description

Attached picture is my eclipse watching with a tree. Tree leaves randomly make many pinholes. The viewing screen is my car. Years ago I watched a partial eclipse in New York under a maple tree. Thousands of small eclipse images on the ground. Yesterday I saw nothing on the ground. Looked up. The tree made eclipse images are on the car. The New York images were smaller because the ground was closer to the leaf made pinholes. The eclipse in New York was overhead. Yesterday the eclipse was near the horizon. The screen needs to be perpendicular to the image.
