My attempts at capturing eclipse photos were a bust.
I thought putting out a colander would result in crescents as the moon covered the sun.
It didn't happen for me. Daughter Sarah thought that the light cloud cover we were having may have played a role in foiling that effort.
It did get dark, but since we didn't have full totality, it was not the dark that Emily and family experienced in Quebec where they went for a mini vacation and eclipse watch.
First bust was trying capture the darkening. There are time stamps on these four photos but I don't see much difference in the light starting at 2:09 and ending at 3:26.
But it did darken!
The other bust was this colander. No crescents!
I did take this photo without looking but because even though the moon covered more than half the sun at this point it appears as a round ball.
So here are other photos.
First, son in law's set up for viewing in Quebec.
At totality
In Buffalo son in law outside with granddaughter #3 & #4 at totality. They had cloud cover but darkness still fell.
Granddaughter #3 made eclipse cookies.
So here are some scenes from the cabin rental in Quebec.
First they had to hike a mile to the cabin with their stuff! Maple the dog got to go on this trip. Of course with the big snow storm Wed-Fri there was snow!
The cabin has a climbing wall!
Granddaughter #1 is demonstrating.
It also has a hamster wheel to help generate electricity.
Granddaughter #2 demonstrates.
And sunrise from the deck this morning.
