The August 21, 2017 total solar eclipse over the Grand Tetons as seen from the Teton Valley in Idaho, near Driggs. This is from a 700-frame time-lapse and is of second contact just as the diamond ring is ending and the dark shadow of the Moon is approaching from the west at right, darkening the sky at right, and beginning to touch the Sun. The peaks of the Tetons are not yet in the umbral shadow and are still lit by the partially eclipsed Sun. With the Canon 6D and 14mm SP Rokinon lens at f/2.5 for 1/10 second at ISO 100.
The thin waning crescent Moon at dawn on August 20, 2017, on the last morning it could be sighted before the total eclipse on August 21. The Moon has risen over the foothills and peaks of the Grand Tetons in Wyoming, though this view is from the Idaho side looking northeast. Taken with the Canon 60Da and 200mm lens.
The dark blue band of Earth’s shadow on the atmosphere rising in the southeast, fringed with the pink Belt of Venus above, and with dark anti-crepuscular rays – cloud shadows - converging on the anti-Sun point. All over Reesor Lake in the Cypress Hills of southeast Alberta. At left, the white specks in the water are American pelicans. Shot as part of a 600-frame “holy grail” time-lapse sequence using the TimeLapse+ View bramping intervalometer. With 24mm Sigma Art lens and Nikon D750.
