Here’s my shot of #eclipse2017 during totality.  We drove down to Kinkaid Lake, near Murphysboro, Illinois.  Managed to avoid some of the crowds of nearby Carbondale, while still having 2:38s of totality to enjoy.  It was an unforgettable experience.

400mm on a APS-C camera was just about perfect to photograph the eclipse. Here’s a shot taken without a filter during totality. Amazing experience viewing from Southern IL.

My daughter, after riding the entire 8 miles around the perimeter of Mackinaw Island a couple of weeks ago. She was a total champ during the ride and was ready to keep going after we finished.
