Wow, it's been a while, hasn't it? I think I'll dust off this account and start breathing new life into it by saying...
I was there, in the path of totality, and in spite of clouds blocking it half the time, I managed to get some halfway decent photos with my 300mm Telephoto Lens & Canon T3i body, the same setup I used in 2017. This eclipse was much more photogenic than that one, possibly because we're close to peak solar activity in the Sun's 11 year cycle. I think I struck a good balance in the exposure settings to capture both the bright white corona & the little pink prominences dotting the rim.
I will say that, because of the weather, I should've focused more on documenting the strange ground phenomena that occur during totality, particularly the 360° twilight around the entire horizon. Since I was witnessing it at my family's ranch, I'll never see stuff like that again at that personal location. Maybe I should've bought one of those 360° cameras & put it on 10m/30ft tall monopod. Damn. Maybe I'll do that the next time I see one somewhere else in the world. Maybe in Spain in 2026?
But knowing my luck, the strong wind would've knocked over that extra tall camera stand & smashed apart the $400+ Panoramic Camera on top of it. If I'd been flying a $500+ Drone up there, that wind would've knocked it out of the sky.
Remember that a Total Solar Eclipse creates a rapidly moving massive cold spot in its penumbra, which literally generates its own temporary weather, so you'll get fast winds no matter where you witness it. Well, unless you're behind stuff, but that'll block your view of the horizon.

I got the chance to road trip out to the path of totality! My phone camera didn’t do it justice, so I painted what I saw instead 🌞🌚
Here’s the photo I took and the sketch I made with my finger in the notes app while watching it happen 😆
