Comment on Anyone else travel to see the eclipse just to have clouds come in right before totality?

  Buddy used his eclipse glasses to capture this

  If he had used his eclipse glasses, you would see nothing. Eclipse glasses are for the lead up to full totality. Once totality hits, you take them off, as well as any camera filters you might be using. The light from the fully blocked sun is too dim to see through solar filters.

    I thought as much but all of my pictures were drastically brighter and I couldn’t replicate what he did. We have essentially the same phone so I assumed the glasses played a role in how dark it was

  Sometimes a little cloud cover makes viewing the eclipse even better. I wasn’t too far away from the totality last year and saw this one:

  Well hello there. I’m closer to Niagara but in the same general area.

  We had some clouds, but otherwise it was a good experience. Nice picture.
