Ended up going out for a walk roughly when the peak would have been. The haters were right... it's NBD without totality. It got slightly dusk at best.
Let me get this straight, you sacrificed the sensor on your dslr so you can take those pictures with your smartphone?Absolutely wild. Lucked out in Austin.
Awesome!!!The term I learned today after taking this pic is that this is called the Diamond Ring shot...
We completely lucked out in Dallas...the entire time before totality, clouds were constantly covering the sun with just brief pockets where she peeked through. Then about 3 minutes before totality, the skies became completely blue....

I suspect her "god" is in powder (or rock) form...Ra made her do it:

What kind of filter were you using that allowed you to capture the flares?The term I learned today after taking this pic is that this is called the Diamond Ring shot...

Edit: there is a 2nd diamond ring at the end of totality...I have just attached my pic of the 2nd one...

I think it might be one of the Lone Gunmen?
I actually took the filter off right before totality and then put it back on after the 2nd diamond ring shot.What kind of filter were you using that allowed you to capture the flares?
Really makes me want to invest in a super long lens like a 150-600. The extra detail you get on the solar flares is just 🤯The term I learned today after taking this pic is that this is called the Diamond Ring shot...

I remember the 2017 eclipse we got around 92% in San Antonio and it just looked like everything was grayer, like you turned down the color saturation in photoshop on the world. Today when we got past 90% or so it felt almost like an ominous storm coming, especially with the temperature drop. Pretty crazy how fast it darkened as soon as we hit totality.Cloudy in upstate NY Adirondack park but it was still really cool. Wife and I picked a random hike and were alone in the middle of the woods waiting for it. At 90-95%+ it’s like twilight but the color temperature is off, and then all of a sudden it’s actually dark, darker than I expected. Contrary to what I read the birds had been quiet all day and then got really loud for a few seconds. Couple of nearby coyotes started howling and my wife promptly clamped the dog’s snout because he has a tendency to howl back ..
You also need to really really really good noise removal software....my ISO was set to auto (based on shutter speed/aperature) and ended up being 12800 so it was super noisy straight out of the camera. I was using a Sony A1 which gave me a 50MB raw file....I used DxO photolab 5 and Topaz Denoise which removed pretty much all of the noise...What kind of filter were you using that allowed you to capture the flares?
