eclipse The Great American Eclipse... Photos & video

[DSTimelapseHD]

Hello,

I'm not sure which category this topic fits into, so I'm just posting here. 

nearly 2 weeks ago, I & my family traveled to Greenville, South Carolina, USA (from Florida) to see the total solar eclipse of August 21st, 2017. The event was spectacular and awe-inspiring. Photos and videos do not give away the incredible feeling of seeing it in real life. 

Images:

A few minutes after the partial eclipse begun. Image taken through solar eclipse glasses.   

About midway through...

Just a few minutes left by this point..

The diamond-ring effect seconds before totality.

Great video . We saw the total eclipse from rural Idaho and had an excellent view too.

Watched the event from Wyoming, not a cloud in the sky, perfect conditions with the altitude the air was clear and still, even cool as the eclipse reached totality, with a 360degree sunset clearly visible.

Yes, the 360 degree sunset effect was fascinatingly beautiful.

I'm useless with cameras and didn't have a tripod so just stuck mine on the roof of the car Amazing how quickly it got dark...

Damn, this really shows how quickly the light level changed. It also shows the dusk-like light that resulted.
