E-Day

near Mitchell, Oregon

this our location on E-Day, and a drier, hotter spot would be hard to find...still we had a clear view of the sky, and shared the field with a reasonable sized group of enthusiasts, without ever feeling overcrowded...Sam had the one mega-lens, equipped with proper solar filter, for spontaneous shooting, but the camera he is adjusting was the very one with which he captured this fabulous eclipse sequence: http://www.pbase.com/image/166098019

Nice capture of the set-up, David. Kudos to you for having the presence of mind to shoot the scene. I was too engrossed with capturing the eclipse to even think about shooting anything else. Well, ok, I did fly the drone around a bit...

Nice shot of the guys setting up. In my opinion the sequence you refer to was the best I saw posted of the eclipse.
Nick Paoni04-Sep-2017 19:57
I can almost feel the anticipation building in the shot.

That's how I can tell you are from further north than me. I thought the temp there was just right and not too hot. Great shot of Sam and me making our adjustments.

This looks intense! That huge lens means business! How great to see your team ready for the big event, which, I may add, you were so very successful at. Thanks for sharing!
