From my vantage point in Eastern Ontario, the clouds came out just as the eclipse was getting going and only cleared after the event was over. I did manage to get a few shots and the day was not without its rewards, even though it turned out completely different than expected. It took me almost a week to sort it all out (especially my emotions) and to publish my experience in my substack yesterday. It is great to hear about how others experienced the event. And yes, that hint of malevolence. I felt that too. All in all, very humbling.
This is such a brilliant description - really capturing the awe! I so wish I could have seen it. I did see the- I think partial - eclipse about 20 years ago. It’s so good to hear about it from the perspective of a photographer!
So glad Gaétan got such a great shot of the context of the eclipse so I can feel 100% justified in not taking any photographs on the day!
Envious. And you’re certainly not insignificant if it’s any consolation T! 😀
