Solar Eclipse 2017

I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, I promise!  Our lives have changed and we are blessed to be caring for a little one right now. Which means my adventures have slowed a little bit.  Rest assured we are still getting out and hiking, although not quite as often as either of us would like.  I have also been focusing more on the hike and less on the photo opportunities!

That doesn't mean I am not flexing my camera muscle.  So, to hold you over until I get time to stretch those muscles again - the solar eclipse!

I had grand intentions of driving approximately 2 hours south to reach the totality point, but that didn't happen.  I didn't have a proper solar filter (it was a make-shift polymer film filter), I wasn't able to time the phases as well as I would have liked, and I ended up not using my tripod (mainly because I was constantly running in and out of the house!), but with all those things that I wasn't able to do, I am super happy with the way it turned out!  Here's a composite of my images.
