We traveled to Texas to view the big event! In plans since the last Eclipse which we saw in Oregon the day finally came and we were in position to see it in the zone of totality! We had some clouds so it wasn't perfect but we got some good views in breaks with the cloud cover.
I had 3 cameras lined up to capture as much as I could...
One was taking a 4 hour time lapse of before during and after...and was set to manual / fixed settings so the camera would not compensate exposure....darkness looks dark in the video.
The Second camera I had capturing real time video which I started a few minutes before and shut down a few minutes after....again manual fixed settings so the camera is not adjusting exposure during the event...darkness looks dark. Audio with this clip so... all you see is darkness when it's happening but you'll hear the oohh's and aahh's when totality happens.
The Third camera I had in hand with a long lens which I took photos and video with during and a few seconds after the totality phase. Set to auto exposure and auto focus.
Hope you enjoy...we sure did!
