43 Jun 24 Reply Hi Mark,
It is a color photo. If you look at about 4 o'clock you'll see a tinge of pink. This is a prominence that, had I chose another technique or setting, would be apparent. But for all practical purposes, it is a BW image.

43 Jun 24 Comment Hi Mark,
I always enjoy power line/phone line shots because of how they draw one's eye into the scene. To my eye, there is a bit too much space between the lines and the sunset. I am wondering if it would have been possible to move such that the lines appear to end in the sunset. That is, a different perspective on this scene. Example attached. (It's not something that can be done in post processing, so this is just an example.)		 Jun 18th
43 Jun 24 Comment A splendid sunset shot! I can't add anything to Mark's comments, as I agree with all of them. Nicely done. Jun 18th
43 Jun 24 Comment A very interesting photo Harley. I, too, first thought it was a drone. On closer inspection it appears to be an impossible shot. By that I mean the perspective of the bird is looking from the side. But the ground is below. So my brain tells me the bird would be flying sideways were this shot from a drone.

The bird in the original image is sharp, especially the wing tip on the top. The composite process blurred the wing tip. Is there anything you can do to remedy that?

The bird itself is striking. I can see why you'd want to swap out the rather unexciting background for this dramatic one. Another thing to consider is to darken the original background to focus only on the bird in flight. What do you think?		 Jun 18th
43 Jun 24 Comment Hi Andrew,
You captured the historic feeling of this building quite well. Sepia is a great choice. Your patience with the flag paid off. It complements the Post Office nicely. Bravo!		 Jun 18th
43 Jun 24 Comment Hi Bruce,
During totality, the entire sun is blocked out and you see the corona, which is quite expansive. If I had taken a shorter exposure, you might have seen more distinct rays and would also see flares. If you look at about 3:30 on the sun, you can see a tinge of pink. One of the other travellers were able to capture the flare.

When there is an annular eclipse, the moon blocks most, but not all of the sun. When the moon is centered over the sun, a photo shows a distinct yellow ring and the image looks different from this. When were the other shots taken? The other possibility is a "diamond ring" shot which looks like a ring but has one jewel like "diamond" where the last of the sun is showing. You aren't supposed to look at this with the naked eye, so using a camera for this is tricky. I chose to look through my eclipse glasses to see the amazing site and forgo taking an image. There is also a phenomenon called Bailey's Beads, but this typically takes a camera mounted on a telescope with a clock drive. The NASA Eclipses Gallery has some good shots of there various phenomena (https://science.nasa.gov/gallery/eclipses/)		 Jun 7th
