Solar Eclipse Photos - No Glasses Necessary.

nikethemutt (53)in #life • 7 years ago

What started out as a potentially disappointing scenario, turned out to be a huge blessing in disguise!

As 1:30pm EST approached, the skies were overcast and cloudy over the western Pennsylvania region. There was even a rumble of thunder in off to the north. How disappointing! I've always has a love for astronomy and the opportunity to see a near-full eclipse was going to be ruined by a bunch of rain clouds!

As it turned out. These clouds provided just enough shielding so that I and my girls could watch the 2017 Solar Eclipse with our naked eyes. No Glasses Required!

Here are a couple of close up shot.

Move out of the way, bird!

What a memorable event! And what a blessing that we could see it and take pictures!

All I can say is that we're looking forward to 2024, when Pittsburgh PA gets a 97% eclipse!

Thanks!

Those photos came out great, @nikethemutt! And no glasses required, awesome.

I thought I was fortunate to have clear skys when recorded the eclipse from TN today. Like you, I did it without glasses. Unlike your photos, mine did show a prominent shape.

What an event either way! I too am looking forward to the next one. Thanks for sharing your experience.
