Hope you aren't saturated with eclipse photos yet, I haven't had much time to process these ,and I wanted to do more, but it won't happen till next week.
1) One shot every 20 minutes.
2) First bite
3) Maximum eclipse
400mm, f22 1/3200, 1000x and 4x ND filters stacked. For the end of the eclipse in the haze I had to remove the 4x, and the exposure time and aperture varies. To be fair to the city, I'm looking west across the range front towards the ocean, and only a fraction of the haze is photochemical smog, a great deal of it is the marine layer that started coming in about 1 or 2 pm. But it was smoggy.
I don't know how I'm supposed to get better at this, when there's only one chance every decade or so where I am...
I could have exposed these more, but this seemed like the best exposure to get the sun spots.

Mine are boring and too blown out. I have stretched out the MC card for some additional gear this week in anticipation of the Venus alignment deal coming up in June.
