A Couple of Eclipse Shots

#1

Post by jrkirkham »

My wife, adult son, and I have been looking forward to this day since we were clouded in during the 2017 eclipse. My son took a train from Michigan to met us, then we drove to southern Illinois and stayed the night with one of my cousins. The eclipse exceeded all of our expectations. Here are a couple of images that I was able to capture. I used a Canon 80D with a 400mm lens. I had the camera st on manual and changed settings every few pictures as the light changed.
