I'm not in the full eclipse zone but we will get a partial here. I'm not prepared to take sun photos so I may try a couple with a ND filter and concentrate more on the scenery and shadows under that light. Should at least be interesting!

I live on the east coast, so no eclipse for me. :-(

But for those of you that can see it, be sure to take photo's!

Speed, I didn't make it up north as planned. I shot the event at the exact time as reported,Sun was high in the sky, all I got was a blown out fireball .. :O( I didn't do my homework on this...

I made it out to get it. We had slight clouds, which actually worked out pretty good. It filtered it very nice. So here is my attempt at it.

This was as full as it got here.
