You might have guessed this, but this week's theme is "Eclipse"! Show us your eclipse shots. Did you manage to see it this year?

2018 Blutmond RB 6227

As the solar eclipse was not visible here in Europe, I only can contribute a photo of a lunar eclipse in 2018. As it was a partial eclipse, it was a so called "blood moon".

Canon EOS 7D mark II, f/6.3, 1/160 sec, 600 mm, ISO 600

My first total eclipse. WOW! AMAZING! ...

Luckily I had enough time to practice solar photos and I was ready. And I was lucky! We were supposed to have more cloud cover than we did. However, it was clear enough for a lot of good images. I NEVER would have believe I could have taken any of these shots - each at 600mm with some cropping.  Then I noticed the prominences really coming out in photoshop. What an event...

Please do tell me where I could have done better. Still learning.

What @rjbfoto said: In Europe we had no chance this year. But I would like to share a cloudy (and moody) shot of the partial solar eclipse over Germany in October 2022.

Nikon D7200, 600mm, f/6,3, 1/25 Sec., ISO 100, ND 5.0

I drove down to Dallas in preparation for the eclipse, but clouds were in the forecast so I ended up in Hot Springs Arkansas. It was well worth the drive! Plus the tacos were excellent haha
