Your Rolex and the Eclipse

Beatrice, Nebraska. High clouds made for less than perfect conditions, but were thin enough to allow at least some shots. Quite a show.

It was still too bright at this point for the iPhone to focus on the eclipse, but I did capture a nifty little reflection of it at 6 o'clock on the crystal.

Great pics! We enjoyed our 2:13 seconds in the path of totality here in Kentucky.

Great pics. I got lucky and had perfect weather. Decided not to worry about pics... so nothing worthy of sharing. But seeing the total eclipse was worth it. The partial just isn't the same.

Cool pics but kinda blurry. I'm still seeing fuzzy dots and blobs. Hoping that should clear up in a day or so...

All I got was a wrist shot. Not really dark enough here to make a difference.
