Great images guys, especially yours Carver.
I wasn't about to chance damaging my new camera after seeing warnings and hearing some sad stories.
I was gonna use my old 60D for the event but wound up giving it to the Chattahoochee River Keepers for their great work.
But I did use my wife's little pocket camera
She never uses it after getting her Galaxy S5 , so she didn't mind.
Another thing that I wanted to record was the crescents in the shadows that I had remembered from 1984.
awesome captures people! I hate to admit i didn't even know the shadows were like that, i really like that capture!
I was cutting grass most of the time, but stopped every so often and held the "eclipse glasses" against my lens and covered it with a cloth to block out extra light. I was pleasantly surprised and happy with these!
