The Buckeye Eclipse Encounter - a photo on Flickriver

            A favorite from my trip to Ohio. This was a fun trip for me. I left Virginia at 4:30 in the morning and arrived at the National Museum of the Air Force in Dayton, OH at midday. I spent over four hours exploring the massive hangers full of planes and space artifacts before heading to Springfield to find my hotel and an awesome Frank Lloyd Wright house. After a great nights sleep I was excited and up early. I had heard so much about the traffic nightmares associated with 2017 eclipse that I was nervous about when I should leave, and after seeing heavy traffic reported in Google maps and knowing that 30k were expected at the museum, I decided to leave the hotel and head over. There was really no traffic on the way and I ended up being on the second row out in the field in front of the museum. Arriving really early and being a bit of a talker, I had no problems making new friends. After the museum opened, I roamed and took a lot more photos before heading out at 12:30 to set up. I had to carry quite a bit of gear about a half mile, so after setting up I hung out and talked to everyone. As totality set in there was a massive cheer through the crowd and I could hear fireworks off in the distance. I was surprised at how dark it got and how quickly the air temperature dropped. It was an interesting experience to say the least. After totality the crowds started to pack up and head out. I stayed and took more photos and by 5:30 it was easier to leave. It was definitely worth the trip.

In this image I combined several shots to create and HDR, which features Baily's Beads, a prominence and the corona.
