Solar Eclipse Photographs
Hello Everyone,
Today I managed to capture one hundred and fifty one photographs of the solar eclipse from my vantage point, Syracuse New York.
I utilized a Moto G 5G 2022 smart-phone for the captures.
Out of the one hundred and fifty one photographs, these are my favorite picks.
I started out with baseline exposure settings, but quickly realized I could capture some better photographs if I lowered the exposure substantially.
I don't regret taking some photographs with high exposure because it made for some cool looking photographs regardless.
The impact of lowering the exposure was substantial. The colors seen are more in line with what the naked eye saw during the eclipse, and it became almost pitch black for a few minutes, eerily reminiscent of Stephen King's novel Pet Sematary in its motion picture format.
I find eclipses really cool and feel I was lucky to witness this rare occurrence while capturing some cool photographs.
What are your thoughts about the solar eclipse?
Thank you for stopping by!
Have a great day! -@futuremind
I got to see the 2017 eclipse with my mother, and neither of us had seen an eclipse before. We were suitably amazed, and I remember the very strange shadows cast by the leaves of trees by the annulus of light near totality, crescent shaped and shimmering. I am very glad you got to enjoy it and take some great pics to refresh your memory far into the future. You are kind to share them with us.
Thanks!
Thank you for the kind words my friend!
I'm happy this eclipse sparked nostalgic memories for your 2017 eclipse experience with your mother, and you describe the memory very well. For me the totality moment had an 'earth stood still' feeling that was both eerie and also breathtaking in a cool way.
it looks realy cool!
it wasnt visible in my country so i'm enjoying watching it trought the photos of people!
Thank you for the kind words @malos10, I'm happy you enjoyed the eclipse through photos shared by others. Maybe the next eclipse you will get to see in person :)
as someone who has never witnessed a solar eclipse, this is certainly one of the most beautiful phenomena in the Earth's atmosphere 🫶🏻
I hope one day you get the opportunity to witness this beautiful phenomenon!
Thank you for stopping by @gialleria!
That’s so cool. I’m glad you got to see it today. It wasn’t that spectacular from my vantage point.
Thanks man. I hope you get a better view for the next one.
You're incredibly lucky to have seen it, friend. It didn't happen in my city but the photos people have sent me are majestic. Yours may as well top the charts!
Thank you for the kind words @jhymi!
I felt super lucky to have such a nice view of it and opportunity to catch moments of this spectacular display.
The eclipse didn’t happen here but it happened in the northern part of my country. But I’m surprised by the way you took 150pictures
That’s cool though
Thank you for the kind words my friend. I hope you have the opportunity to one day witness a full eclipse in real life.
nice shots !

Thank you @woelfchen!
I felt lucky to get those captures :)
Wonderful shots! I chose to sit on a front porch and be a part of it all, but I'm glad to have these photos, they're really good! Were these taken in your back yard?
Thank you @owasco!
Were you able to see it well from the front porch?
Yes this was from the back yard, between my steps and the middle of the back yard. I had a pretty good view right from my front door, which is in the back of the house lol.
I wish I would have thought to lower the exposure before it started, but I'm still really happy with what I got.
Wow! Syracuse was in the band too, wasn't it? Nice!
I couldn't see the sun from my porch. I wanted to be a part of it, not an observer of a part of it. I watched the earth around me, the colors were altered, time sped up, then everything took a new breath. It was very cool.
Yes it was!
I get what you mean by wanting to observe the surroundings more than the eclipse itself. I took a brief moment to look around during totality moment and saw and felt the shift you're talking about too. It was cool, but left a strange feeling for the rest of the night. Certainly feels like time has sped up a bit ever since the eclipse as well.
At moments, I feel like I'm in a very different world. I see more life around me, colors are more vivid, and I'm happier, and calmer. Y
Hey good to read you again and great to know that you were able to witness this phenomenon plus you were able to share some images around here have a good week.
Thank you my friend, it is good to see you again too.
I hope all has been well, and I hope your week has been going good as well.
