Yup. I know. Everyone has heard of it. A lot of people viewed it. Some of us gathered to photograph it. I joined other photographer friends on a just built deck of a not-yet-finished house in Marble, North Carolina to shoot the moon as it passed in front of the sun. This one was made just before the totality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sun breaks through the jagged lunar mountains dispersing the light causing one side to resemble a diamond ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I photographed the moon in front of the sun with my Canon 1Dx Mark II camera with a Sigma 150-600mm f\/5.0-6.3 Sport with Sigma’s matching 2X teleconverter TC-2001 making the effective focal length 1200mm. The exposure was ISO: 400, 1\/320th of a second at f\/13.0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
