The 1:18 of totality was supernatural. We knew what to expect from our research—increased wind, decreased temperature, darkness—but it was so much more than that. Words and photographs can’t capture the sensations. It was incredible.
I took a group photo during the darkness but my phone compensated for the lack of light LOL. it was not the time to fiddle with settings. I did get a cool photo of the moon completely shading the sun and check out Venus in the lower right corner of that pic. Brody the artist got a better photograph of the moment.
The security lights at the school that come on at night turned on…that was a fun consequence of the eclipse (look in the background of the group photo).
I loved playing with the pin-hole camera effect using a colander.
