The total eclipse - a photo on Flickriver

The total eclipse

            Traveled to Del Rio, Texas to witness the April 8, 2024 eclipse. The weather forecast called for heavy clouds so it was questionable if we'd see anything. We decided to stay put and whatever we were able to see was what we would get. The clouds added a bit of suspense on what we could possibly see.

To our amazement and delight the clouds thinned out or parted just enough and we got a bit more than we thought we'd see. 

The area around us definitely got darker than it got in Salem, Oregon in 2017. In 2017 the surrounding area was just darker, maybe gray, but in Del Rio 2024 it was so dark the security lights came on and it definitely looked like night. 

As for the pictures, I made a bit too many mistakes because of the lower light caused by the clouds. My shutter speeds were too low so my camera mirror vibrated and caused a lot of the photos to have camera shake. 

Hope you enjoy the few photos I was able to capture.
