p.2 #3 · Master Thread for the Ring of Fire Eclipse
I posted my "Jaws of Light" image before I found this thread. But here are a couple others from El Paso, Texas. The Sun shots were shot by me, the other were shot by my daughter, Dano.

I put this one in another thread but will add it here as well. Taken at Crescent City, CA about 10 miles north of the centerline of the eclipse path through some marine layer fog.

We watched the eclipse from Gooseberry Mesa after a wonderful day in nearby Zion National Park.
All shots taken with Canon T1i. Sun shots were 1280mm f/6.3 (Celestron C8 with focal reducer and Thousand Oaks full-aperture solar filter). At full-res, you can see the silhouettes of mountains on the edge of the moon.

Great shots everyone!
I was setup for shooting this but in my area it was due to be at full eclipse right at the horizon. Then some clouds rolled in blocking a portion of the show. The clouds did add drama to the scene so it was not a total loss.

Lipan Point, South Rim Grand Canyon. This was a spur of the moment "bucket list" trip for my daughter and I had no clue how to approach it photographically. We were fortunate to find a parking place and waited with a batch of photographers, astronomers, rangers and tourists.
I just took a swag at exposure (no clue how to adjust for the welding glass)

We had carefully scouted out a position the day before North of Sparks NV, where the eclipsing sun would be very close to a hillside horizon near time of the total annular eclipse. Unfortunately our computer program did not factor in the weather that day, and it was apparent that rapidly forming cumulus clouds would shade our position. A quick drive a few miles down the road to capture the first half of the eclipse. More clouds, then another drive a few miles more down the road to capture the tail end of the solar eclipse. As the sun was setting behind the hillside the eclipse was still waning and the resultant image below was captured as an exposure bracket. This is a composite of an under exposed sun (you can clearly make out a sunspot in the center of the crescent) and an over exposed cloud shot.
I kept varying the filters, but between 10-15 stops of ND Lee filters with a 400mm f5,6 with 1.4X TC.
This album has a few more images from that afternoon including the full annular eclipse; the other shots are all single exposures. http://www.fototime.com/inv/A359E2E17DA620E
