Getting up at 7am for work as well as scattered clouds kept me in bed instead of behind the camera and tripod.

Did you get any shots?

That's a beauty! What lens did you use? I assume there's a crop here?

Still going through the shots, but we had some gusty winds to complicate things so I'm not overly hopeful... Anyhow, here's the view from the Everglades @ 3:40a.m. ET shot with the S-5 and 300mm f/2.8 stopped down to f/4

Yes, big crop. It was shot with the Canon EF USM 75-300mm - f/4.0-5.6 - not a fancy lens at all. There was of course, some post-processing.

My feeble attempt at capturing the event with a 50% crop. We had serious cloud cover here, and then a small teaser break in the clouds prior to the eclipse. Got set up only to have the clouds roll back in, so we never got a chance to view it !
C'est la vie.

Sweet shot groovehouse!

I did not take any shots of it. Mid 20's kept me in bed.

Nice! I was wishing I was in Florida - I would have gone out and taken some pictures.
