Il y a 3 semaines aujourd'hui débutait notre voyage au Texas pour l'observation de l'éclipse de soleil. Je vais faire un pouet par jour et sélectionner 4 photos pour chaque jour (ça va être difficile !)
Jour 1 Vendredi 5 Avril : Paris - Houston. Nous sommes arrivés à Houston en début d'après-midi, ce qui nous a permis de faire un tour de ville, principalement avec notre bus. Le voyage était organisé, nous étions un groupe de 33 personnes, tous très sympa ! Nous n'avons pas trouvé d'intérêt particulier à la ville.
5 minutes avant le début de la totalité un gros nuage recouvrait encore le soleil. Mais ça s'est suffisamment découvert pour que nous puissions observer l'intégralité de la totalité, et même voir une protubérance à l'oeil nu ! (sous forme d'un point lumineux rosé). La vue de la couronne solaire est toujours un grand moment d'émotion. Un trou dans les nuages nous a permis de faire de chouettes photo à peu près au maximum de l'éclipse.
3 photos unitaires prises à différents moment de l'éclipse (Juste avant le début, pendant et juste après la fin). Cf description pour la 4ème. (2/2)
"It's really upsetting that we're investing so much time and energy, money, resources into this when we know that if we have a highly vaccinated public, we won't be seeing these cases," McMasters said. "Yes, I've been in public health for 25 years, and it kind of feels like going backwards."
Reprocessed with a focus on the prominences. Happy with the result here although I want to redo it again to see if I can get better detail on the corona. 🔭🧪
Having never photographed a #SolarEclipse I had no idea what I was doing and rolled with it in the moment. I’m pretty happy with the final product, it turned out better than I expected! Definitely a wild experience 🌑☀️
If people warn you not to look at the #solareclipse directly, this is not a conspiracy theory designed to prevent you from doing what you want, that is because it is dangerous.
Those who choose not to listen and then panic, because they fear going blind, are sadly a reality.
Glad I am not the one having to deal with those people because I would be tempted to tell them not to listen to me, if they are that smart they can figure out how to fix themselves.
Nature is dangerous and beautiful at the same time.
Four days later, what word below best describes the online conversational health of #eclipse2024#solareclipse#eclispe in a post-Twitter social architecture?
Another from the eclipse on Monday. Taken at Rangeley Lake, in Maine, during the totality for the main image. The other instances of the eclipse were composited in, in the position they were in at the time the image was taken. Each instance of the eclipse if 15 minutes after the previous instance. Prints available.
I saw the #eclipse in totality! It was one of the most arresting things I’ve ever seen.
There was a small crowd at the park we settled down in. As the sun faded, people began to applaud. That quickly erupted into a roar of shouts & cries of excitement as the sun transitioned to totality. Beyond special.
A very big shoutout to the small town of Inlet, NY for providing a wonderful eclipse experience. There was a food truck, plenty of public space in a lakeside park, and most importantly... bathrooms.
My criteria for a viewing location included minimal cloud cover and surrounding natural beauty. The Adirondack region proved to be a perfect spot.
We watched the cloud forecasts for days and then made a final decision at 6:30am. We hit the road 15 mins later. #SolarEclipse#Eclipse#Photography
