Post Your Eclipse Shots

It was a cloudy, cold morning in NJ, but I gave it a shot anyway. I grabbed a spot at the top of a hill in our local cemetery and was joined by another photographer about 10 minutes later. We weren't too optimistic, but there was a crack in the heavy cloud bank right in line with the sunrise so we kept our fingers crossed. It paid off at about 6:55AM when it managed to show itself in pieces as it crossed the crack. At least I didn't spend an hour in a cold cemetery for nothing.

Anyone else get anything?

For the curious, these were shot with my D800 in DX mode with the 70-200mm f4 and a 10 stop ND. Wish I had a step-up ring for the 150-500mm as I suspect the 77mm filter would have worked just fine on that. On my Christmas list. LOL

Should be something there now. I tried uploading a composite but it shrunk it down to nothing, so I did the individual photos instead.

I'm actually watching a live feed of it from Slooh in Kenya right now. Probably the best I'll get until 2017.

Not sure if it would have been visible down here, but there were to many clouds to even see the sun.

Had there been no clouds, you would've seen something according to the maps. I tried, even though I'm about 70 miles west of the edge of being able to see it. Guess the scientists who made the map are much smarter than me. :p

​Couldn't see anything, so I made my own.
