Photos simply do no do eclipses justice. And this isn't even an awesome photo! I literally had to figure camera settings on the fly in order to get a decent exposure!
The most exciting part was that I set my camera to take a photo and missed capturing the diamond ring because of the timer and not having a remote shutter or a bulb, but I got to WATCH it happen!!Even better!
I also now don't understand a single person who said "I saw the one in '79, I don't need to see it again" because I'm already trying to figure out where I can go in 2024 to see the next one! Only the next time I'm not farting around with cameras or anything, I'm watching the whole thing!
Anyone in the 2024 path of totality and want a house guest?!? (Totally serious.)
In 2045 there's going to be another coast to coaster plowing right through Denver. If I'm still kicking, you can come watch it with me from the top of Mt. Evans at a little over 14,000 ft.
