Victress2007 Posted May 20, 2012 #26 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I was wondering about that. :) The official sunset here is about 7:15 but it will be earlier because of the mountains. So the sun will actually be fairly low in the sky while in eclipse. Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dileep Posted May 20, 2012 #27 Share Posted May 20, 2012 In Seattle the sun does not set until around 9 pm and the eclipse is at 6:43 pm when the sun is quite high. Looks like a very cloudy day here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victress2007 Posted May 20, 2012 #28 Share Posted May 20, 2012 In Arizona we don't do daylight savings - so our time is Pacific time in the summer. Hope the sky clears up for you! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's photos. Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootr Posted May 20, 2012 Author #29 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Change in plans. DD is flying into Sky Harbor tonight from Germany. Think I'm going to set up at the airport parking garage instead, get the downtown area instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victress2007 Posted May 21, 2012 #31 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I guess I needed a filter, but it is interesting nonetheless. I'll see what I can do with photo software tomorrow. Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootr Posted May 21, 2012 Author #33 Share Posted May 21, 2012 The best of the bunch, so far... My try at a composite. No way to get the foreground and the sun both properly exposed in the same shot, so this is a rough try at bringing it all together.

TheRoff Posted May 21, 2012 #34 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Shootr. That second shot is absolutely fantastic and then some. WOW!!! Great job. I like the airport as a fore ground. That is a wall hanger. Llarry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victress2007 Posted May 21, 2012 #36 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Awesome Shootr! Great job. I guess I now know the answer, you must have a solar filter. I guess there was a lot of dust in our area yesterday too. Well done. Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootr Posted May 21, 2012 Author #40 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I broke the rules on filters. I wound up stacking a 2, 4, and 8 ND filter onto polarizer and still shot at f/32 at 1/4000 for the sun shots. Quick peeks to keep alignment before burning out my corneas and I was all set. Today I'm heading back out to the desert where I did my practice run last week. Somehow, I think I dropped my timer out there, because 3 hours before the start I tore the house and truck apart and couldn't find it anywhere. So no time lapse. Thanks for all the comments. For an astronomy geek like me, this was a holy grail type event. When I saw the plane pic I darn near had kittens-I was shooting like crazy and switching all kinds of settings with fingers crossed.
