Awesome to see the process from start to finish, and those ending photos were just fantastic!

that video shot at 10:35 is stunning

Thanks! it was the ONE clip that was shot on the 400mm lens and we're super glad that we got it.

Incredible results and work. Thanks.

Super job, Ian! And good teamwork too!!

Cool images, Ian! I also enjoyed all the behind the scene video. Thanks!

Awesome moment and great video!!!!! Love what you didwith the bracketing and final image!!!

Very cool vlog Ian. You should do to them more often. All the best to you, Diana and that coming baby!

Love it Ian!!!

This is so cool!! GREAT shots!!!!

Good to see you back :)

Really nice work! Final photos are so good!

that shoot composition is on point :)

Excellent and informative video guys! It nicely touches on the whole process from planning, scouting, shooting, to processing. And your final shots are gorgeous! I’m glad you were able to see the eclipse from Chicago. I have to live vicariously through you from New Zealand! Take care! - Alex

Thanks Alex! So good to hear from you and so glad we could share our photo adventure with you, even if not in person this time.

Beautiful images 👌🏻

Good Morning from New Zealand, Thank you for your great solar eclipse Video, have a great week

Superb... Amazing...

I used to go down there all the time.

Great shots! Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately we on the west coast missed out on this year's eclipse. Cheers.

Wow ... Happy to see you again sir ❤️

Great video thank you

Awesome to see that your second plan worked out well! Here in Massachusetts/Maine, we had clouds in the far distance that obscured the low rising sun, so we had to wait a little before seeing the entire eclipse. Looking forward to the next one in 2024!

I'm sure it would have been a different video if we showed up at the original spot not knowing there would be tons of boats in the way. There's another annular eclipse on October 14, 2023 in the Southwest. Photopiller reunion?

@@LonelySpeck Sounds like a plan!

Awesome adventure guys, We really enjoyed it. At our place the sun was already high up in the sky (max visibillity at 12.39, so we only managed to shoot some silhouette.)

Thanks Rob! We're just happy that we got to see the very tail end of the eclipse here. Some of the views farther east/north of us where the eclipse was more dramatic are so amazing to see.

Wow nice shots

Helen, that's so awesome! I'm really glad that you managed to photograph it too! What a fun experience!

Thanks for the adventure, and thanks Diana for the hair dressing, that was a bit messy !

This is so beautiful. Any tips on using solar filter and glasses for looking at the sun?

NOICEEEE

I had perfect clear skies the evening before, but it was cloudy with wet snow the morning of the eclipse, but clear across the Frobisher Bay. I got the ring through the clouds, but they varied so much it was hard to switch between a filter and just using the clouds. Iqaluit location.

I was at your original spot. I found a clear pathway with no boats blocking the lighthouse. But the sun started rising right behind it. So the shot I got that morning looked like Pac-Man was about to eat the building. I wish I would have thought of bracketing though.

Loooove the behind the scenes. No solar filter for your camera? So many people were telling me my camera would be damaged without it!

Just saw your reply to this down below - thanks!

Great video. I also got a pic here in PA, did a 5 stop bracket as well. Did you use a solar filter?

I did not! The sun was low enough in Chicago that it was not necessary since the sun was filtered through lots of atmosphere. If it was higher, I would have needed a filter.

Awesome stuff! I love the way you formated this video. Btw what was the song at the end?

It's called "After All" by Geographer and it's available on the KZread Audio Library.

Amazing photos, got a telephoto lens with mirrorless camera what filter should I use to capture the eclipse Oct 14 2023 without burning my camera ? Thanks really appreciate it . Oct 2023

so bad ass

For the annular eclipse of October 14, 2023... it will be around 10:30am when annularity takes place. It will be too high to get a long distant telephoto image. I will be among hoodoos of NW New Mexico. To get the eclipse in the same image, I can't use a 500mm telephoto lens unless I get rather close to a hoodoo and focus stack. Does that seem reasonable to you?

If it's high in the sky, I would recommend an eclipse filter.

The Eclipse was on June 10 2021 but on your phone you're showing us PhotoPills on "June 11" @1:42. I know there is no difference in terms of Sunrise time and both Thursday and Friday had almost the same Sunrise around 5:25 a.m. (In New York and in your city more or less the same), but it would be better to show the real date in your video. I spent over 2 weeks just scouting every bit of New York Metro Area to find a treeless, building-less open area to shoot the Annular Partial Solar Eclipse. We had some clouds but the clouds gave us a break and mostly papered off the Maximum Eclipse moment which added drama to the photos. Early runners stopped to ask me what I was doing with two cameras on two tripods and snapped a shot with their phones which was impossible on my Android showing a blob of light as the Sun. I wish there was a new technology in an App such as PhotoPills to show the real North and not to rely on magnetometer/gyroscope in the phone. The Eclipse happened near NE (North East) and every time I got close to metal railings, PhotoPills showed me a different direction for the Sunrise. That's why it is important to wake up early with few days of the Eclipse and run a test at the exact location to make sure you're looking at the right direction. Being on top of the tallest building is the best choice which I couldn't do. Anyways, I Liked your video and really appreciate the time you spent to show us what you did. I would have made a video like yours but the heavy camera pack and hot weather in New York would have made me collapsed had I spent my energy on making a Vlog. Thank you.

I think I must have set the plan a day on Photopills ahead when I showed that. Ultimately, I just wanted to see the rough direction of the sunrise and that got me close. In my experience, the gyro/compass accuracy on Apple devices is significantly better on PhotoPills AR. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Why can’t anyone see the actual moon approaching and exiting 🤨🤷🏾‍♀️jes saying

Ever wonder why sometimes you can't see the new moon phase? Same reason. It's not illuminated because the sun is behind it.

Why do we only see half of the moon during a half moon? Because only half of the surface is being illuminated from earth’s perspective. A full moon, where the entire surface is illuminated from earths perspective, is the opposite of a new moon. A solar eclipse implies the moon is in new phase, which means the entire surface that is visible from earth is not being illuminated. Have you ever gone in your closet with the lights off? Yeah, you can’t really see things that aren’t being illuminated. 🤡 Jes saying
