Ralph and I waited until almost the very last second to take photos of the partial solar eclipse 5/20/12. After the eclipse had already started I insisted we jump in the car and seek an open horizon so I could take photos. We jumped in the car and drove toward the sun until we found a spot.
I had a polarized filter from my ancient manual film camera that I held up in front of the lens on my camera. The clouds helped by toning things down a little.
And it's gone. I really am the Queen of the Last Minute.
If you want to see a really good picture that was taken only a few miles from this one check out this photo on the Texas Parks and Wildlife Facebook page here.
And for gorgeous landscape pictures check out the contest winners on Flickr.
I had a great weekend and I hope you did too. I went to an art show on Saturday and visited with my parents on Sunday. More about that later.
Here are a couple of my super moon pictures. Someday I need to figure out how to get detail on the moon. So far I've only been able to do that when the reflected light is toned down during eclipses.
