Excellent Peter . We were at 4 mile beach too, the view was good generally, but pity the totality was clouded. Your pic is different enough to make up for that .
OMG - the clouds certainly teased you! Not sure I could have coped with such suspense!
Biggest thing I've learnt from this eclipse is the need to be mobile. While things are fresh in my mind, I've investigated a few options for the USA in 2017. There are some highways that parallel the eclipse pathway in Wyoming and Nebraska - might be fun cruising around in a big American RV with the family!
Yep like this, I am going to go with a wide field for my next one to capture the earths shadow and use a small mount to capture the corona. I have looked at several wide field images and wish I had captured this aspect of the event. You look as if you are frantically capturing in the image and this adds to the sense of drama.
