wow Randy, that's awesome!! I guess you used a special solar filter

I guess you could say that...

Nice ingenuity Randy! I'll post some of mine when I get a chance to process them.

ha ha ha, what a great construction!! :twothumbs:
And inexpensive, too
And also a wonderful idea for the Venus transit

That's exactly what I used (exactly!) except that I had an assistant holding the filter (and moving it away to take a look himself)

(And I didn't notice a reflection of an alien in mine)

That's how I started out, too....but then Amanda raided my first aid kit in the Jeep for the tape...it made things a little easier

Here's my photo. Taken from the Toquerville / I-15 area while traveling back from the West Rim / Subway hike this last weekend with the group here. Taken at 200mm with a ND32 filter, and then cropped a bunch.

Killer shot!!

Here's a couple I got at Beryl, UT. My daughter and myseld went wandering out there on Sunday afternoon trying to be alone and ended up shooting through the lattice of an old railway tower.


Obviously not quite the right filter with all the odd reflections going on but I don't mind the way it turned out.


Even though the structure obscured part of the ring I liked this one best.

No, I've had the 100-400mm since I got the 5DII

wes242 captured some impressive stuff. Check out his FB fan page. And maybe he'll post some of that here too?

I am so impressed by the pics from everyone here. As I was driving the Kolob Terrace Road trying not to run over the people parked all over the place with their lawn chairs and tripods out, I was thinking how tough it would be to actually come up with a good shot yet there are a bunch of them right here. Way cool. Seriously. FWIW, I watched it while driving 82 mph through the zone of totality near Kanarraville.

Well I didn't know how really to go about shooting this. I had some people wanting to me head south to shoot it, but I stayed in my front yard. After seeing some other shots, there are so many things I wish I could have tried. I would rather shoot a ton of other stuff too though. That layer of clouds helpd add a little something extra though.

The tower turned into an old fashioned pinhole viewer. You can see a few images on the end of the building.

Wes, I love the clouds in your photos....they really add something to the eclipse.

Wes, I love the clouds in your photos....they really add something to the eclipse.

Thanks man. I think yours are pretty sweet too... Both are different thats for sure.

 

[Yvonne]

I love the clouds in it, too, Wes. They have something creepy, really cool.
