Topic: The Big Eclipse of 2017!

So, did anyone use a magnifying glass to give themselves an eclipse tattoo?
I hear all the cool kids were doing it. 


Seriously though, did anyone get any good photos?
I tried to get some but my crappy digital camera doesn't have a manual setting for exposure.
Sometimes I miss my old 35mm. (The one I still have that's been in the closet since about 1998.)

Snagged a decent one.

 ^^^Ha Ha Ha------------------- Nothing too exciting here in Kalamazoo, Mi, got a little bit darker outside and my cereal box worked OK.

I wish I had gotten in on this soon, and made some loot on the eclipse googles.  Not to much to see where I was.

I was home sick today.........and slept through the whole thing! BFD!

If you were to take a mirror and catch the sunlight then project that on a wall you can see it perfectly fine, like a picture. We have done this with other eclipses, still pretty boring if you ask me.

It got pretty dark in Everett where I was.  Watching it was a tad boring - I've seen 2 already, but at the same time it was quite a spectacle of people.

The lighting from the eclipsed sun was eerie, more like what you see at 4 am than 10:30.

Note, auto darkening welding helmets don't always stay dark when viewing an eclipse

They sure don't...



Which is why I only used mine to filter my phone.

That's a different, better, kind of eclipse.

I'm located in Oregon and it was pretty spectacular. Sorry no pictures. There was some really cool solar flairs when the sun was becoming more visible

neat photos!  It looked like about 33% occlusion down here in Austin. It was noticeably dimmer outside.

We watched the coverage on TV. In Southern CA we got nothing. BUT I have to say, watching the event cross the Country, it secretly made me happy to know that deep down, regardless of affiliation, we are all just Pagans.

I got this unfiltered shot from Charleston, SC.  On my S7.  Was not able to get a total shot.  Pretty spectacular here, even true the clouds.
