First time doing this gig and mother nature almost ruined it with cloud cover but got some lucky breaks in between. Drove with Kids to place caller Port Dover in Hamilton Ontario. What a surreal experience. I have never experienced this in my life. Almost lost crucial time at 3:19 pm EST when I forgot to remove the solar filter when I could not see anything in the viewfinder

Excellent work! We were in western Nebraska for the 2017 event. It gets a little crazy at totality trying to take in what you know is a fleeting moment while trying to capture it.
I remember how my jaw dropped back in 2017 after seeing the amazing prominences appear in my eclipse images. At the time, I had no idea we could capture such an astonishing feature of our sun.
Great images, especially considering this was your first time! I wanted to shoot at 700mm on my R7 for a close up of the prominences, but it was my first-time too and I chickened out. I put a 400mm on there, so I had a little more margin for error. Really like the detail you got in them.
Great job on these! It would be very interesting to know just how far those flares extend from the sun's surface -- I bet it would be pretty mind blowing.

I agree. We had around 87 seconds of totality to yeah, it get little crazy if its your first rodeo.

The prominences are enigmatic for sure.
