Well, in addition to the cookieclipse I did also manage to get a couple photos of the sun. Findlay Ohio, April 8, 2024

Cookieclipse was much more dramatic and breathtaking...
I kid, of course! These are stellar, Jeff! And you captured the diamond ring.

I agree, the Cookieclipse was intense to say the least (and pretty darn tasty too.
)I almost missed the diamond ring. I was so amazed at what I was seeing I almost forgot to capture the image. With all the people cheering and the unique quality of the light, I pretty much was standing there with my mouth open in amazement. We saw the totality in 2017 in Nashville TN but this one lasted longer.

Well, here in western WI, I would've had maybe 75-80% coverage, but of course, it was completely overcast. So thank you (and everyone else) for sharing!
We had clear skies, got some decent photos. With so many really good to great shots posted here, I will keep mine family and Facebook. I can post a view of my solar panel production for yesterday. I am sure you can identify the eclipse period.
Thank all for the beautiful shares and images captured!

I was finallly able to complete my progression photo of the eclipse. I‘m feeling very blessed annd excited because going into the day, I didn’t know if the cloud cover would allow me to get any photos.

He has two eclipse photos: one of us outside watching the eclipse and a screenshot of the solar app. 
Vermont was wonderful. Day started off with 0% clouds, but maybe 25%-40% moved in later - but they were all very high wispy clouds, stratus etc. It gave some of my images a diffuse glow which is charming. Overall, extremely great weather. Hopefully start editing tonight. Glad everybody had some good clean safe fun!
It was a little nerve wracking in Texas. We were planning on going to Kerrville, but the weather forecasts weren’t great. So we decided to go to Brady. Only 2 minutes of totality but that’s better than 4 minutes of clouds. Arrived in Brady at 9:30 and went to a local park. We were the 6th car in the lot. As a surprise, my in laws from Florida also showed up as they were in Austin. Cloudy at first but getting better and better as the morning progressed. At 1st contact it was clear blue skies with occasional high clouds. By totality, there were still a few clouds and the park was packed. I was using a Z9 with the 600mm PF. I had tried auto focus the previous week with the full sun and a solar filter, and it worked great, so I used it here with no issues.
I had observed the 2017 total eclipse but was using an old Nikon bridge camera At the time. It did ok, but I had no idea how this setup would work. I was pleasantly surprised.

I still need to figure out how to develop a progression of the eclipse. Overall a great trip! One somewhat negative aspect is my wife took a look at the images out of Lightroom, and made the comment that it doesn’t look like I need to update my kit!
Composite I did today with some of my shots

Sooooo beatiful!
Mine, no raw, no post processing, jpg out of camera, cropping only, Shot through cirrus clouds, so not sharp as I would like.

Here are my favorites. What an experience! Z8 + 180-600mm.

Outstanding images, Wade!
I bracketed 9 frames 1 stop apart all the stages of the eclipse, I am trying to process them now and I don’t know how. I read in this thread that some of you did bracketing. I use Lightroom and Capture One as my process software. How can I put them all together to make one well exposed photos? My first time with bracketing. Thanks for helping
If you have lightroom you also have photoshop? That would be the easiest with layers and layer masks.
I don't know capture one, but does it do layers?
In LR you select all the photos from a bracket, right click and choose PhotoMerge->HDR. Easy as that

Thanks. I have Photoshop. I will try it. Tasks again for your reply.
Thanks. I did not it is that easy. I will try it.
So beautiful with the cloud. I love this shot
I bracketed to get a range of exposures, not to necessarily combine, but to get a variety of exposures during rapidly changing moments, (Bailey Beads and Diamond ring, prominences). But you have to have started with a generally predicted starting point to do what I did. As mentioned above, it is pretty easy to put bracketed images together for a blended image.
Thanks Karen.
My compliments, well done.
I did exactly the same. But I thought if I. O mine few image, maybe the image will improve. I think that what I understood from some review.
thanks for your reply
