Location
This photo was taken in Eastern Oregon, about 13 miles north of Lime Oregon.Time
Mid-day, during the eclipseLighting
Typical Eclipse lighting. Very bright camera melting light. Very dim light from reflected Earth-light on the back of the Moon. In-between light in the Sun's Corona, Bailey's Beads and of course, the Diamond Ring.Equipment
This photo was made with an old Sony A77 and a Tamron 150-600mm lens on an AstroTrack tracking mount.Inspiration
I wanted to show the phases and beauty of the solar eclipse.Editing
Post-processing was needed to put the three different images into one. No Saturation or Vibrance adjustments were made.In my camera bag
Various old Sony cameras. I generally pack for the event I'm going to as solar, lunar, astro and model shoots all require rather different equipment,Feedback
Plan ahead of time. Practice ahead of time. Photographing the Moon is good practice. As is trying to photograph sunspots on the Sun.
