Eclipse photography

There were all sorts of rigs for getting pictures of the eclipse.  They ranged from point and shoot cameras, telescopes, video, and pendulum or gyroscope stabilized systems.  Here are some of them and some proud owners.
                 

One thing you may notice during the partial eclipse phase is that a shadow of anything that has small holes produces an images of the sun's crescent.  Nancy's hat shows the effect.  The smaller the hole the clearer the image.


If you use a pair of binoculars you can project an enlarged image. 
A little imagination and a few props or a cooperative model and you can get some cute pictures. 
Alex and Nicolle demonstrated the fun that can you can have.


     

Ted brought a portable printer so we had pictures to show as soon as totality ended.  They were a real hit.
