Clipsed out

It was f***ing awesome

Mind blowing as usual. not as much as the solar minimum eclipse of 2017. Nothing will ever top your first total eclipse. This one was neat AF too. We saw a solar eruption of sorts. I saw a red dot on the eclipse. Unfortunately the photos don’t show it, but I assure you, I witnessed it with my own eyes.

And now, what all that insufferable traffic was all about. The main show: the eclipsed sun as captured by my D3100 and my biggest lens, a 300MM telephoto.
