So, who's going to watch the eclipse?

As much as it covered here.

 

So just a semi then? Dissapointed wifes a plenty.

 

My coworker.

 

Your "coworker" huh?

 

We ran out of virgins a long time ago.

 

On here?

Funny guy i like you

Brave souls sneaking out:


Back to the future:


Shot thru one of the goggle lenses shortly after the moment of max coverage:

 

"Great Scott!"

 

Did get clouded over... ☹☹☹☹

Was still cool though. It was eerie when totality hit. Looked like a sunset all around. Plus you could see Jupiter and Venus in the sky

 

Did the binoculars trick to observe from the top of the agency's parking garage. Quite awesome. Only a few brief clouds drifted across the sun while we got to our maximum. I think here in DC we hit around 90% ? DC won't get a total eclipse for something like 400 years yet.

 

Yes, because I was taking a picture and only have two hands.

 

Clouds here we're fairly heavy, still got to see a bit of it...through the clouds...and my welding goggles.

 

"Hey, look! It's almost as orange as me!"

 

"Don't stare directly at the sun!"

Trump stares directly at the sun.

Can we advise him against running with scissors next?

Sessions appears to be praying to the Almighty in the photo of him, as if begging for the fiery orb to be returned safe to the Heavens.

 

Drove to BFE Nebraska and watched from a random parking lot. Hands down the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

 

I'm copying the pics and videos I took over to my PC, and I'd like to punch the damned software engineers at Google and Apple (I shot the eclipse with Android phones and my iPod). One of the things I did was to make sure I got pictures and video of my surroundings. Because the light gets all weird, before, during, and after totality. Everything goes sepia-toned, and the software compensated for that! So, instead of everything looking all weird in the photos, it looks perfectly normal! Grr!

I did manage to get a nice shot of the totality, though.

 

Am fortunate enough to live and work along the path of totality. Brought my solar glasses with me today, and took several trips to the parking lot once the overlap began. Pretty cool. Went out for the duration at about the T-10 minutes mark. The Totality was amazing!!! So glad I experienced it! It was freaky to see how much of the sun was covered at various times and yet still see how much light we got. I want to say it seemed relatively "normal" lighting outside, even with the sun like 7/8s covered. That's pretty impressive! We noted a definite drop in temperature during the event as well.

Then I just walked back into work. No need to take vacation time off or anything.

 

Video of the eclipse taken from a plane.



There's a group who flew cross country, following the eclipse from the air. Can't wait to see the video that they produce.

 

the parking lot was the most beautiful thing you've ever seen? You need to get out more!

 

That was fucking stunning bro

 

Yeah, I'm not sure how to put a camera phone into manual mode, which is the only way you'd get the effect you were looking for.

For about two seconds I considered setting up a GoPro to shoot a time lapse of the light "dimming" a bit here, but then I remembered that the camera would compensate for less light and the time lapse would look like an ordinary sunny day.

 

I also took a picture of the eclipse:



Slowly realizes this might be the wrong crowd.

 

This reporter says: it got dark, about as dark as it would get if a storm was coming not too long before sunset. Then it gradually got lighter at about the same rate as it got darker.

 

F**king Automatic White Balance.

 

I got a few

 

Saw a bunch of folks skydiving. How amazing must that have been?

 

I guess I'm weird...I liked it, but I didn't feel special...it's science and normal....
