San Antonio Annular Eclipse

 


I was driving north of San Antonio like crazy trying to get away from the clouds (the sky behind me is clear) but the clouds added drama to a beautiful eclipse. Without the clouds to darken the sun, I would not be able to shoot without a filter, so in that sense, I was very lucky. It was a crazy eclipse because it did not get totally dark but you did feel the light change at mid-eclipse and the temps cooled. Far more of that in a full solar eclipse, when the moon is closer to the earth and can block out the whole sun. Had a great time and now really pumped for the full show in April, when another solar eclipse hits the United States, the last easy to get to eclipse in my lifetime.
