Anyone else catch the eclipse on Aug. 21 on their layouts?

A couple more photos here: http://cprailmmsub.blogspot.ca/2017/08/total-solar-eclipse-on-m-m-sub.html

Nice idea.  Now to figure out how to have a section of your layout set in those fleeting moments.

Thanks for sharing,

John .... I like your creative photography very much ! 

We live in western KY only about 25 miles from the location of the maximum total eclipse. As in your photo, the eclipse looked like a large black disc surrounded by a massive ring of fire. The sun was nearly directly overhead when it happened. Fortunately, the wether was clear. 

 

Thanks for sharing your photography !
