Winter Solstice Eclipse

Tucson, AZ

Not the best of captures because this was shot through high thin clouds and I had to go with a rather long exposure to compensate.
And this was taken about 30 minutes before the actual total eclipse, but was about all I was going to get with thicker
clouds moving in. It was neat to start the evening being able to see camera / lens settings in the bright moonlight
and then having to use a flashlight as the eclipse progressed.

Canon EOS 7D ,Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM ,1.4x TCII
tripod, mirror lock-up, self timer full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Very nice shot Sam.
You're so lucky to have chance to shoot it...It's cloudy and rain in our side that night.
