Disappointed
As everyone knows today was the day of a once in a lifetime experience.
My son and I prepared for weeks to see this heavenly event. Don't get me wrong we did get to watch it but what was disappointing was that we were not directly in the path of totality.
We did get to watch the moon cross in front of the sun but unfortunately a sliver of sunlight stayed visible at all times. So it didn't get totally dark just dim enough to turn my yard light on.
I was looking forward to it turning totally dark and seeing the stars but that didn't happen.
I took some pictures as I could here they are
I took this with a dark weling lense in front of the camera.
This is how it looked just as the moon started it's travel across the fire ball in the sky.
Took a chance and grabbed a picture of the sun without a dark lense. If you look to the top right side of the photo there is something strange there.
This is as dark as it got here and hence why I was disappointed.
I hope others got to see the eclipse in it's full glory. At least my son and I got to watch it even if it wasn't a complete eclipse for us.
WOOF IT AND STEEM ON
All pictures taken with my S6 smartass phone
yeah.. i wasn't able to see the whole thing due to location too.
Beautiful photos
aww batter luck next time.
so sorry for it woof woof.
I think it got a little darker there than it did in NYC, I didnt even try to get ay shots of it, and either way it got very cloudy as it reached the peak where I was
That sucks.
for those trying to get shots in the city it sure did Luckily I had no plans to get shots myself
New York was so far out if the path I'm surprised that anyone there got to see anything at all.
Thats true but it did get about 75% eclipse so people were looking for it

Just stating what I used to take the pictures like others do.
Hard luck. Heard about it in the New's earlier. 😳
Sorry you were unable to get a view of the eclipse that you were so looking forward to see.
Thanks. I was more disappointed for my son as I got to see an eclipse when I was a kid back in 79 (ok I can hear old man jokes going on in your thoughts)
Well it happens to all of us!
