Eclipse | 2024
A solar eclipse one of the most fascinating, eerie, humbling natural event one can experience. When the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, momentarily blocking the Sun’s light it creates a brief period of darkness during the day, revealing the Sun’s corona, which is typically hidden.
Ancient civilizations often saw them as omens, sparking fear or wonder. In the early 20th century, a solar eclipse provided crucial evidence for Einstein’s theory of General Relativity, showcasing how these events have advanced our understanding of the cosmos. These moments have long been both a source of mystery as well as a catalyst for scientific discovery.
Having photographed the solar eclipse in Carbondale, IL seven years earlier to poor effect, I was determined to get a better, closer shot this time around using a 1600mm lens and computer tethered setup. The minutes that pass photographing an eclipse are ones of chaos and stress, hoping everything planned goes right. Everything went wrong right as the eclipse happened, with my video setup strangely refusing to work, but I was able to walk away with this photo.
