Where Did You View The Eclipse?

Fred19Flintstone

 
From my lovely backyard in Flint, Michigan.  About 80% coverage here.  We wanted to go someplace where there was 100%totality, but no mun, no fun.

Never did get glasses, so using a high-tech pin hole viewer. Nail hole in a cardboard box.

Central Illinois. Had about 92% coverage at the peak. Lot of people made the trek from here to Southern Illinois to see 100%, but I was content with 90+. Pretty neat, had glasses. Was a little disappointed that it didn't get darker outside. I expected it to be like dusk, but it was only like a cloudy day in terms of brightness.

The office. I'm the fat, white guy

We put the glasses on the camera and rednecked a couple of decent pics.  Here's a good one.

That's how I did mine, as well. Worked better than I thought it would

GrillSgt

Versailles KY. 95-96%. It was really cool. We've been watching for an hour now and probably have 20 minutes to go. It didn't get as dark as I thought it would but it was dark enough to have the night lights come on. The traffic coming out of Lexington headed SW on the Bluegrass Parkway this morning was unreal. We were about 2 hours from totality.

Backyard......100%.  It got real dark, really quick.  I wasn't like a gradual transition.  It went from being kind of dim to what it would look like 15 minutes before civil twilight in about 90 seconds.  Then 2 minutes of that. before you saw this pinpoint of light shoot out from the sun.  But during the 100% the shiny corona gases around the sun looked pretty cool.  I heard the crickets, but that was about it, nothing else funny except the dusk-dawn lights coming on.

Front yard, deck and dock. At about 70% (?) coverage, birds and cicadas began their evening songs.

At the lake in my parents neighborhood. 

(In front of the liquor store, just in case this whole thing went apocalyptic)

got pretty dark dark for a few minutes here in Nashville. 

JohnnyTarheel

Here in Charlotte NC. We had 98% but it was very underwhelming as it did not get near as dark as we thought it would.

Home base with 95% coverage.  My millennial son made the pilgrimage to the area of totality in western KY.  He called and sounded quite impressed.
Here's a link to future eclipse paths.

I've been to Sturgis and Daytona a couple times.  A very low % of people looked like that.

Reminds me of a troupe I saw in Chicago called "Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind"...

Is that an election year?

In Charleston. 100%. We still have about 20% coverage now.

AAAHHHHH!!!!
 

 
Big disappointment here.  Was in the 90% band but the light didn't change much at all, may have been all the haze.  Shot some frames but not expecting anything good.  It DID bring out the mosquitoes, I got chewed up pretty bad.

Lincoln City OR.  100% totality and 100% amazing! The little dot in upper right is the sun.

At work eclipse party here in Salt Lake City, UT.  We had 93%, it was pretty cool.  Standing in noon day sun in August and not feeling the normal intensity of it was interesting.  That was awesome to witness.

Sprint campus in Overland Park, KS.  The company threw us a nice party with beer and burgers.

At home in North GA. Had about 98% totality and got fairly dark, but not as much as I thought. The roosters across the street started crowing when it got lighter again so that was interesting. 

Dredger

Front porch. Too many trees in the back of the house. The light change was amazing. From bright daylight to total darkness.

NCSmoky

Dillsboro NC had about 2 minutes of totality. Potato shot 

jaydub58

From our driveway, just about 40 miles south of the path of totality. Very clear skies.  Sensational!  I think I was most impressed by the drop in the temperature in a matter of minutes.  From right at 72 degrees to 64.
