As you may recall, I was unable to acquire a solar lens for my camera so I was only able to shoot totality. If you were a first time shooter of an eclipse like myself then it was possible that a few “mistakes” were made in shooting. I had my 200mm lens set up on a sturdy tripod, the shutter release was in place, settings were dialed in (I did 7 shot bracketing) and the lens cap was off. So did it all go well? Not quite. When the diamond ring appeared and everyone starting cheering I had a serious excitement attack resulting in my brain “forgetting” how to adjust the head of my tripod; just too excited.
Once that was rectified it was fire away with the occasional pause to change the shutter speed. I want to do a photo merge of my images but as I’ve never done that before I have a new skill to learn. This is my first effort using a 3 shot merge of shutter speeds 1/125, 1/500 and 1/250.

Nice! I got to see it but in NH, it was not in totality. You did well. We get anotehr try in 2024.
Thanks. I did bracketing from 1 second up to 1/2000 so the images vary wonderfully. In 2024 it passes right over our house.
Great shot!
Thank you!
Like totally!
It was far out man!
Beautiful shot! I’m not familiar with your 3-shot shutter image. I’d like to learn more. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks, Mickey! I’d be happy to help you if I can. Drop me an email if you want.
Will do! Thank you!
Nice pic! Congrats!
Thank you 🙂
I say, you’re a quick learner. 😉 Fabulous work!
Thank you. I didn’t want to mess this opportunity up.
