Cone of death vs. path of totality.

HURRICLIPSE !!!!

If you thought Sharknado was terrifying, just wait for...

The top left corner photo is the kind I'm always interested in. What do the SURROUNDINGS look like in the middle of a sunny afternoon? With the eclipsed sun only a minor part of the image as a point of reference.

The big images of just the black disk and corona don't do a thing for me. Seen too many of 'em.

Here's what you might be shooting for. It's kind of a sunrise effect. This is looking southwest. What available light there still is creates a horizon. This is just after 3 p.m.

I was too close to the western edge of the path to achieve that kind of darkness. If I were 10 miles farther west I might've not even seen complete totality.

There definitely was the effect of a sunset twilight, which if I had chickens would've sent them to roost.

Here is what my good friend snagged.

If I see one again - I'd love to be at a very high elevation with high visibility to see the edges of light and really notice the "circle of shadow." Seeing the 360 degrees of dusk must be something.

That's exactly it.

A photog in Jonesboro, Ark., got a great photo of a jet crossing the eclipse.

I think I've come to this conclusion.
Watching an eclipse in person: Very cool.
Watching eclipse coverage on TV: Very, very lame. It was like seeing New Year's Eve coverage from Times Square, or a fireworks show on TV. It's just not the same and the hosts were over the top excited to the point of self-parody. I think Norah O'Donnell had an on-camera orgasm at one point.

I said on facebook that Stephanie Abrams from the Weather Channel either peed her pants or had an orgasm. She was over the damn top.

Cronkite never would have orgasmed on the air!

This is how I feel when I see Jim Cantore acting like his team just won the Super Bowl when he sees thunder snow.
