VICTOR, IDAHO - AUGUST 21, 2017 TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN

 

WAITING FOR TOTALITY - Frances C. Lindgren Photograph

 

WELCOME TO OUR ECLIPSE SITE! WE VIEWED THE ECLIPSE FROM VICTOR, IDAHO

FROM AN IDEAL LOCATION ON A GOLF COURSE. I STARTED TAKING IMAGES AT FIRST CONTACT, AND ALMOST CONTINUED UNTIL THE END. CLICK ON THE IMAGES FOR LARGER VERSIONS. DURING TOTALITY I TOOK IMAGES CONSTANTLY USING THE SAME F/STOP AND CHANGING THE SHUTTER SPEED TO HOPEFULLY CATCH AS MUCH OF THE CORONA AS POSSIBLE.IN ADDITION TO THE ECLIPSE, WE WERE ON AN EIGHT-DAY BUS EXCURSION THAT WAS INCREDIBLE. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE REST OF THE ADVENTURE. CLICK ON INDIVIDUAL DAYS LISTED BELOW TO GO TO THAT DAY(S).

I didn't get a change to collect a sample in Victor, so these pebbles on a sidwalk is the best I could do.  

Click on the images for larger versions. This is definitely a work in progress. Hopefully, I will finish all of the images soon. The reason why the totality images appear to change in size is because I want to show as much of the corona as possible. At totality, I took images as quickly as possible changing the shutter speed, and keeping the f/stop the same to show details in the corona.

FRAN LINDGREN GETTING READY FOR DARKNESS PHOTOGRAPHS - Charles F. Lindgren Photograph

 

One of our favorite activities during an eclipse is to photograph exactly how dark the sky gets. You don't notice this. Your eyes automatically adjust to changes in the light, and you don't really appreciate the amount of darkness. To show this, we set up a camera, in this case on the ground, and aim it at a random, constant area. We take a photograph on "automatic" before the eclipse begins, and then set the f/stop and shutter speed to that automatic setting and take the rest of the images on"manual." We roughly took one image every 15 imutes. NOTE: The Sun was photoshopped into the photographs later. The results are shown below. Click on the image for a higher resolution version. Note: The final image was taken with the camera back on "automatic!"
