This page shows what I found when I
looked at the photos. Using the results of the Libya trip, I had a very
good idea what I would see at a particular shutter speed.
Therefore, I shot at a fast 1/1250 until a couple of seconds after 2nd
contact. I then got on the ground (since a meridian flip had turned my
camera on its head) and adjusted the timing for 3 slower shots to get
the inner corona. I reset to 1/1250 and just watched until near 3rd
contact. I then shot the 3rd contact set.
Here are the particulars on these images

2nd contact (The Movie)
I created this movie by combining the sequence of shots before 2nd
contact. It shows the early stages of totality (before it is safe
to look at with your eyes without filters.

Promenances at 1/1250
In 2016 I did a movie to prepare for the 2016 Solar Eclipse. I
gathered and reprocessed some of my old pictures. This was one of
those that was reprocessed.
