From our location we only got around a 90% eclipse today…still not bad.   Seeing these photos —  that were not very visible in the camera until after the image was shot–brings back memories of an eclipse back when I was in grades School.  Good old Wikipedia and  a  bit of digging and I think it was this one.

This was not shot full frame since the longest lens I have that that I also have a dark enough filter was my old trusty manual  Nikon 105 2.5 lens.  Can’t decide if I should color correct the image or not.  I kinda like the purple cast it has–even though that purple cast is somewhat artificially created by the filter pack I used.
