Eclipse with iPhone

Couple through my welding hood





One with just iPhone playing with the filters



Basically, the iPhone was not able to adjust like the human eye. Through the welding hood, I got a great look. The GoPro was no better.

Had I given it some thought ... might have gone to see Paul in Casper ... he got a total Eclipse ... mine was only 83%. It did get significantly cooler during the 40-80-40% range. Never got dark, kinda like early evening.

Thanks for sharing. Ohio isn't even in the path to see it.

I was not getting any pictures of the eclipse with my iPhone either until I figured out I could take some through my eclipse glasses.....



We got 88% totality here. Clouds parted and I had a great view from my back yard.

We drove 140 mies east to Rocheport,Mo. Went to Les Bourgeois Winery. Had wine! But, during the Eclipse, with totality there lasting 2 minutes 39 seconds..at EXACTLY totality, it started to rain. The rain lasted about 3 minutes! No Diamond Ring effect, no Bailey's Beads effect. We got a lot before..and after...just nothing during!

The surface temperature of a wooden picnic table dropped from 103.9° to 78.2° at totality. It did get dark..like 10pm dark...but it was absolutely breathtaking and moving even without seeing totality!

Not a great image, but I got this one with my iPhone through a zoom eyepiece in a 120mm refractor and a solar filter.

I had the opportunity here in Maggie Valley, NC to view the total eclipse for 44 seconds on the Blue Ridge Parkway. My "Boss and Navigator” and I arrived at the Waterrock Knob gate (elevation about 5200 feet) to wait in line for a limited number of vehicles to access this beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway overlook.

The park opened at 9:30 AM and allowed about 130 vehicles parking access for the brief 44 second total eclipse. The actual total eclipse was spectacular.

Like Fuzzy, I used an I-Phone (I-5S) to take pictures during the "Partial Contact" phases that happened both prior to the total eclipse and after the total eclipse. I also took many pictures during the 44 seconds of total eclipse. However, like Fuzzy most of my pictures followed a similar I-Phone clarity pattern, so I won't post those pics. TG Carol found a better way to produce clear and true I-Phone images. ( Good job Carol)

During The 100% totality phase, our view was hampered by a large white cloud. I was able to shoot, the total phase without any filters, but the I-5S phone still amplified the total eclipse. The beautiful background effect more than compensated for the I-Phone flaw.

The first pics are from the first 45 minutes of the total eclipse:







The next group of photos are of the 44 second total eclipse phase take without any filters. A huge solo cloud managed to work its way into the scene. The iphone seemed to amplify what night light was available during the total eclipse phase:









The last group of photos show the dark eclipse shadow of the mountainous terrain. Off in the distance, you can see daylight returning as the eclipse shadow quickly begins to disappear:

If it managed to upload, here are a series of pics I took holding my good camera inside my welding mask. Pics from my iPhone sucked. The news said anywhere from 65%-71% coverage here on Long Island. Who knew that for once a pic would upload from my phone.

Nice pics all!!!
