Great American Eclipse!

                                                                                                               August 21


As soon as I got up, I looked out the window and saw a wall of low clouds blocking the Sun. To avoid being run over by clouds on The Great American Eclipse day, I packed up the camera and the tripod and headed out to the Dos Picos County Park in Ramona, a rural town just east. Since it was a Monday morning, not a single person was there in the park. 





Many times in the past, I had taken close up shots of the eclipsed Sun and so decided to create a Time-lapse movie of the eclipse. For those interested,
                  Camera:    Canon T3i
                       Lens:    Tamron 16 - 300 mm (covered with Solar film)

       Intervalometer:    Phottix TR 90
 Continuous images:    744 images with 10 seconds gap



                                                                    The first Time-lapse is from just before the eclipse started to beyond the mid point.



                                                                    The second Time-lapse continues from beyond the midpoint to the end of the eclipse.
