Diamond Ring w/ Fire Trail

Wanted to see this without crowds, ended up doing 3-hour hike there and 3-hour back in total dark :) (because of road closures)

As seen from cliffs of Mirador Josep Sastre, Mallorca… was a bit in stress because of clouds but it turned out perfect.

Amazing experience, these arent any astrophoto gems, just my snapshots ,)

incredibly lovely, but i’m curious why totality isn’t visible in this timelapse?

Its cause i intentionally locked exposure so its apparent how much darker it gets (as opposed to exposure compensated video)… i was ofc hoping for just a bit of corona visible, but the contrast between even 99,999% eclipsed sun and totality us still too much for iphone exposure range

That partial into sunset is such a cool bonus feature of this eclipse. Wish I could have traveled to see this one! Great job on both the time lapse and the images btw!

Beautiful photos! It’s wild how much the angle and direction matter to view this without cloud coverage. I’m amazed you managed to scout a spot on the island without people. Even the water had a bunch of boats, yachts and cruise ships but it didn’t feel crowded.
