(Almost) Total Eclipse

I admit it: I was an eclipse skeptic. It just didn't interest me all that much. Oh, sure, I planned on checking it out. So, I was pretty unprepared when it comes to photography. Still, think (with some tweaking) this turned out all right. Not too bad. Not quite as awesome as the real deal, but not a bad representation, for a naysaying novice.

I can see why people drove to get to the totality zones, but honestly - this was pretty dang cool and without a crowd. I enjoyed it, would recommend the show to anyone. ;) Liked the crescent shaped shadows and definitely noticed the birds went very still while it was happening. We're on our second batch of swallow babies right now and they were silent and the adult birds awol until after the event passed. Interesting!
