I have seen several total eclipses in my life, and have photographed none of
them. I realize the setup, etc., represents a challenge to the photographer,
but the array of superb eclipse shots is breathtaking in its enormity following
one of these events.
What interests me about an eclipse is the nature of changing light as it
progresses. I really don’t know if the strange nature of eclipse light can or
has been captured on film or digital. I kinda have my doubts that it has been
or could be.
All of which is to say that the landscape during an eclipse is far more
inviting to me than what’s going on in the sky. The effect, not the cause.
By then everyone gets different mileage.
