Eclipse: Patten, Maine   Leave a comment

April 8th, 2024: My second total eclipse — 44 years, 1 month, 3 weeks after my first one.

An absolutely stunning experience. I had forgotten how eerie the sixty seconds before the eclipse are. I brought along a white sheet, and was able to see the shadow bands for the first time, which was a huge thrill.

Photography wasn’t a priority, visual observation was. And honestly, I was lost in the moment and didn’t really even pay attention to details, was just feeling how amazing it was.

All shots were exposed for the corona, rather than the chromosphere. I wish I had at least one shot exposed correctly to bring out the chromosphere.
