Yesterday I had the pleasure of watching the sun be eclipsed 96% from my own back garden. I used a Nikon P1000 with a solar filter to capture these images of the event from start to end. I had planned to drive further North, but with it being a work day and a school day for my kids I decided to forgo the bigger adventure and just capture what I could from my own neck of the woods. One day when my kids are grown and I am more free to travel I will for sure find an eclipse event to attend and capture totality from. If you look closely some sunspots are also visible in these images which I thought was pretty interesting.
