Total Solar Eclipse, William L. Finley National Wildlife Reserve, Oregon, 10:17am 8-21-2017.
The roosters started crowing, Venus was visible overhead, and the photo just doesn't do it justice.
These were done with a D7000 UVIR conversion, and the Nikon 200-500mm lens + 1.4 teleconverter.
The before/after totality pics were done with a Baader H-Alpha (35nm band width version) stacked with a Baader AstroSolar 3.8 OD filter in the front.
DANGER: 3.5 OD can NOT be used to view the sun with your eyes, you need to use AstroSolar 5.0 OD to view the sun with your eyes. Be VERY careful which you use for what.
The totality shot is not filtered, it is a 'full spectrum shot'.

Beautiful corona/prominence shot! I also like the partially eclipsed sun through the H-Alpha filter: the ripples on the surface are well seen.
Thanks for sharing, and I would also say, congratulations!

You certainly used your allotted 57 seconds well :D good planning of how to deal with a spectacular event, and the necessary bit of luck with weather too. Kudos.

Wow, thank you to everyone for your comments.
There are no photos I have seen that really capture what a total eclipse is like with your eyes.
Sometimes I feel a bit robbed by not spending more time looking with my eyes, than fiddling with my camera.

Not very crowded the place you looked out. Good organization! I hear other places were so crowded people disturbed one another...

Saw this 360degree video which shows the surrounding world during the eclipse. At least it shows behavior of the local wildlife. But never having experienced it I can't say how well it captured it.

That is such a cracking image! Print it big an sell it like the proverbial cupcakes/hotdogs/whatever. Or just hang it in your home somewhere.

Thank you! :-)
Notice the uneven edge of the moon compared to the smoother edge of the sun.

The first shot (of totality) is very nice: it captures the impression of the color of the prominences well. I agree: I haven't seen a shot that gets the total appearance "correct" as viewed with the naked eye. A talented oil painter/illustrator could do it.
