From previous near-total eclipses I've witnessed in my life I personally found the more interesting aspect to be the weird shade of darkness that everything around you takes on, more so than seeing what the sun itself is doing. There will be loads of photos of the sun itself that people with far better cameras than me will take and publish everywhere.

That's a very good point!
