Some of the most spectacular eclipse photos (outside of NASA) that I've seen. Really captures the experience. Wonderful work by this dedicated and talented man!
We were in Vincennes, Indiana. This was worth every second. I have never seen anything as awe-inspiring as this in my life. I took a couple of random pictures with my cell phone and then just took it all in. Luckily, one of them actually managed to catch a few solar flares.
We were in Bloomington, Indiana and my wife said look at the plane flying across the eclipse. Someone there got that picture and it is spectacular. I was busy looking at the beautiful purple flare on the bottom of the eclipse with my binoculars. A 12 hour drive for a four minutes show but what a show.
Wow...sounds amazing! I know you don't need the eclipse glasses when totality occurs, but I didn't realise it was safe enough to look at the sun's flares through binoculars. So, he didn't use a filter for the sun's flares on his photos? They were really that colour?
@@Mortthemoose Several flares show in different photos but I only saw the large one on the bottom of the sun with my binoculars. It was a gorgeous purple reddish color. I only looked for a few seconds at a time because it was bright. I passed the binoculars around to the people near me and everyone was amazed. The binoculars were to look for the devil comet which I didn't see nor have I heard mentioned by others.
this is the best representation i have seen of what i MISSED in Lyons Falls NY. I had been preparing for 7 years for the trek up there and the clouds started rolling in a half hour before totality. thank for the pics Dave.
I took photos of similar quality on my first attempt at shooting a total eclipse in 2017. I'm just as satisfied with mine as he is with his. Great job! For this eclipse I chose to just look at it and take it in. I only shot video of the crowd reaction at the eclipse party I attended.
Great shots! My brother was in Jackman, ME and took some "professional" level photos himself, including the sun spots and the prominence. I on the other hand at Long Lake, NY, put the lens from a cheap pair of eclipse glasses in front of my video camera! Oh well. I'm thrilled to have experienced it.
Wow!! That sounds like an incredible experience!! Stunning photographs!! 👏👏👏 I'm in Scotland, and we were due to get a glimpse of a sliver of the moon obscuring the sun, but unfortunately it was thick cloud cover 😮💨 I DID watch the news coverage of the eclipse from Mexico, up over America, but they didn't show Canada. It was really spoilt for me though, as it was just NOISE!!! Thousands of people whooping, howling and yelling, plus the news person shouting over the top of all of that, and interviewing people whilst it was going on! ......I just wanted to enjoy seeing the eclipse, and listening to what I i though might be silence, as people stood in awe and wonder.....but, no. That spot where you were looked incredible!
3:23 That's a great image. It looks like most eclipse photos for 2024 are the same corona shape mostly, just rotated as it moved from Texas to Maine. I was in Ohio, so if I tilt this image, I should get a good representation of what mine looked like - great for keeping a memory! The upper right of the disc was also a small line of prominences for me, since I only had 90 seconds of totality, and the sun was barely covered there. All of that on a dark blue sky, above a haze of high thin clouds. Thanks for helping me preserve a memory.
Wow. Listening to this photog gave me the feels. Extraordinary photos. I watched in perfect conditions in Lake Placid, NY but didn't take any real photos.
So envious. I planned for years. Considered Maine and Indiana, but figured they would be cloudy this time of year. Went to Texas instead believing perfect for clear skies. However it was the inverse and had to drive two hours away from totality to get 95% so it wouldn’t the a total waste. Great job.
Dave is a great guy and a wonderful photographer! We are very proud of him in Augusta as our native son. He is also a pretty cool guy at Planet Fitness as well. -Harry
Absolutely top class photos, thanks for sharing this. Has Dave shared his whole set anywhere? That close-up with the prominences is just magnificent. I don't know how many realise this, but that loop of material at the bottom of the picture? The entire Earth could pass through that loop! Such is the size of the Sun. I hope the eclipse has made at least some people consider the magnificence of God's creation. to say it's all come about as a series of mindless accidents is an insult. Praise God for His mighty works +
When I saw the eclipse, the sky was deep BLUE, not black! So yeah this "black and white" pic (3:30) is misleading, just like ALL other eclipse photos. In fact, after seeing the eclipse I feel I have been deceived for all my life about what the eclipse looks like. It was a super sharp white ring with a dark blue background with tiny orange prominences around. So magnificently colorful, not black and white!
All these 'professional' photographers yet NOT one photo'd the Moon, the star of the event, before or after; which begs the question that no-one ever asks and that Nasa could not answer even if it asked _the Cat_ (chat GPT.)
It’s a pair of sunspots. I got the same on my photos. At first I was worried it was dust on my lens but then I saw it naked eye through my eclipse glasses so I knew it was real.
l am going to leave the Creator out of this, because that agitates many people. But what are the odds that we live on a life-filled planet and have a single Moon that exactly obscures our Sun during eclipses? lt's like winning Powerball and Megamillions the same day.
But we don't have rings like Saturn so that proves no creator? We don't have 2 moons like Mars so no creator? We aren't rotating sideways like Uranus so...?
If I throw a handful of sand onto the floor and it lands in a pile that is completely unique and like no other pile of sand that is known to exist, does that make me the Creator or someone who just throws around piles of sand?
Those pictures of the Prominence are the most amazing photos I've seen yet.
Some of the most spectacular eclipse photos (outside of NASA) that I've seen. Really captures the experience. Wonderful work by this dedicated and talented man!
Thank you for this. You can tell how much this means to him. Very thankful to be able to have shared in that experience halfway across the country. ❤️

That video is blowing up on Instagram.
It was a prominence, not a solar flare. It was as bright as a ruby down in Texas.
@@visarr Since I didn't know how long it lasted, I called it a flare.
Thank you for your willingness and ability to catch with a camera what we were only able to see with our eyes!!
Bravo Dave. The preparations you made paid off well. Excellent job sir.
this is the best representation i have seen of what i MISSED in Lyons Falls NY. I had been preparing for 7 years for the trek up there and the clouds started rolling in a half hour before totality. thank for the pics Dave.

WOW! Our God is an Awesome God! Thank-you for showing us these pictures!
This was my 3rd solar eclipse totality. I have seen many partial and one annular. Many lunar eclipses. They are all different, but all awesome. ❤

Nice pix, Dave. I flew up from Laconia, NH with friends and shot at the Greenville Municipal Airport. It was quite a spectacle. Cheers!
Wow!!
That sounds like an incredible experience!!
Stunning photographs!! 👏👏👏

Wow. I can see the details in this one that match up with mine. Super awesome knowing we all shot the same thing.
Man is humble. Good interview.
Amazing photos. Thanks for sharing.
Dave, thanks for sharing your story.
I had my old Olympus Evo E300 and I got some amazing pictures!
Wow. Listening to this photog gave me the feels. Extraordinary photos. I watched in perfect conditions in Lake Placid, NY but didn't take any real photos.
Best photos of Eclipse. Awesome 🎉
Thank you for sharing this experience!

Not one mention of settings or lens used.
All beautiful images

Great work!
Beautiful! It was a great day on a lake in Ohio, too.
Indian lake?
Great shots!

How can we buy copies of your shots!
Congratulations Dave
What camera and telephoto lens did you use
"In the Winter..." 😂
It was great in southern MO, I watched sun and moon and sunset all around me and let folks with good cameras get the pics.
From Bellingham WA. to Texas, and it was worth it.
Wow I bet this is the only pictures that look like this. Except those of millions of other photos taken by digital cameras.
Wow.
❤
What was the speed and apateur of your telephoto lens(s)?
No one else is mentioning that IM in here??
Used the same camera nikon Zii but my lens is a bit cheaper still got good and almost same results👍
Moose River
I didn’t know Jason Statham was a photographer
One should see the moon approach and leave but you don't!
I’m in here! (Pin me) 2:00
Viewing the pic at 5:00, seeing the solar flares... I’m having a hard time believing that the sun is 93,000,000 miles away...
When I saw the eclipse, the sky was deep BLUE, not black! So yeah this "black and white" pic (3:30) is misleading, just like ALL other eclipse photos.

"Total"-ly Amazing ! Praise God \○/ ❤ ✝️
NASA is making Nikon discontinue there most powers cameras for the public.
God's Beautiful Wonders ❤ ✝️
Show us the moon please
you see it here
All these 'professional' photographers yet NOT one photo'd the Moon, the star of the event, before or after; which begs the question that no-one ever asks and that Nasa could not answer even if it asked _the Cat_ (chat GPT.)
on the 1st photo there is a dot on the sun, an astronomer could talk better about it...
It’s a pair of sunspots. I got the same on my photos. At first I was worried it was dust on my lens but then I saw it naked eye through my eclipse glasses so I knew it was real.

The odds are so astronomical that there is most obviously someone in charge!! F_ the naysayers
But we don't have rings like Saturn so that proves no creator? We don't have 2 moons like Mars so no creator? We aren't rotating sideways like Uranus so...?
@@olliverklozov2789 I know, ridiculous!!
The odds are exactly 100%.
If I throw a handful of sand onto the floor and it lands in a pile that is completely unique and like no other pile of sand that is known to exist, does that make me the Creator or someone who just throws around piles of sand?
Who the F cares!!!!!
You must since you are here watching and commenting!!
Awesome pics. I'm still wearing my solar glasses. 😎
