2017 Total Eclipse of the Sun

I was in Chattanooga, Tennessee, for a Sierra Club volunteer service project for local Audubon Society. Our leader, Cheryl, a local resident, took us up to her mountaintop community about an hour out of town. Her neighbors had a big potluck party going and welcomed us warmly as we awaited the eclipse. I experimented and found I could photograph through my eclipse glasses and get fairly decent photos of the stages of the eclipse and here they are.

Almost there!

I'm not sure what the red artifacts are in both photos, but someone using a pinhole box took a photo of the image in the box and her photo (though black and white since it was just a reflection of what was occurring) also had dots where the red circles are.

Here's our group safely viewing the event...
