My attempt at photographing the solar eclipse. I had only just decided to photograph it the week prior and couldn’t get my hands on a solar filter and therefore the plan was to only photograph at totality (including the diamond ring and Bailey’s beads). I did some research online in the days leading up to the event and thought I pretty much had it all figured out. Had my settings all prepped beforehand. My plan was to take bracketed images (9 frames) on a tripod with 1/30 being my starting exposure and combine them in post processing. However, in the minutes before the magical moment, I became aware that my tripod isn’t a very good one and I was not able to tilt my camera enough to be able to capture the sun/moon so high up in the sky. I ended up having to shoot freehand and should have either disabled auto bracketing or at least dropped down to 3 frames as I would never be sturdy enough by hand to handle all those exposures. Needless to say, I did manage to enjoy the spectacular event and got one or two images even if they weren’t everything I had hoped to achieve.

A summer Aurora display at Pyramid Lake. It’s often said that winter is the best time for Auroras, but here in the mountains it’s hit but often miss with the variable weather patterns. Luckily the summer provides many clear days and great nights to see the lights!
