I still watched it in all it's glory! That's printed in my memory!
Yet... You gotta learn it somehow... The camera aspect. I will be a pro for my next eclipse shooting. I learned so much more shooting it for the duration. Exposures, my camera, etc... Such a valuable learning experience!
I just need better time management. I didn't think it was that critical. Every second in totality counts when shooting.
I didn't think it was gonna be that dark in totality. I knew you could take off glasses off, but didn't realize lens filter must come off to. Pretty stupid I know, but 4 minutes breeze by when your staring up in awe...
Totally slipped my mind that street lights would come on.
