I was going back through some of the images I took of the eclipse in August of 2017 and was processing some more images. I took a lot. We live on the path of totality for the 2017 eclipse. I appreciate any feed back on this image.
Pertinent technical details or techniques:
Canon 7D, Sigma 120-400, 400 mm, 1/160, F8, tripod and remote shutter release
(If this is a composite, etc. please be honest with your techniques to help others learn)
If you would like your image to be eligible for a feature on the NPN Instagram (@NaturePhotoNet), add the tag āigā and leave your Instagram username below.
I absolutely love the design of this image. The overall image concept and composition are excellent. The image looks like a view from a science fiction movie, and has a lot of impact for me. My only suggestion would be to pull in the black point a slight bit and add a bit more contrast in the darks. The highlights look great, but deepening the blacks would add a little more snap to the image for me.
The best image I have seen of the ādiamond ringā effect, which lasts only a fraction of a second at the beginning and end of totality. Perfect exposure and wonderful starburst!
Iām new here and have been trying not to post older images but I guess itās OK. Iāll post a composite I did of the eclipse.
I would enjoy seeing some of you older work Diane. Some folks here post mostly current work, but feel free to post whatever you want. More participation is a good thing, and with critique you might find newer ways to look at older images.
