Happy Earth Day!

I've been practicing my wildlife photography and I wanted to share some of those recent photos

I wanted to share my photos of the Total Solar Eclipse next to my Total Lunar Eclipse photos that I took back on 11/07/2022. I had no idea when I was shooting the total lunar eclipse how special and rare these events were and that I'd be able to photograph both eclipses. I feel very lucky to have been able to see both events!!

Here is my last composite photo of the eclipse, at least for now!🌑🔆

Another day, another Baily's beads and diamond ring progression composite!! They were beautiful during the eclipse!

Here is a composite of the progression of the diamond ring, Baily's beads and the prominences. And in the center, totality! It's been fun trying new composites to try and use as many pictures as I can that I took during the eclipse!

I love this wide angle shot of the total eclipse over a little silo in Indiana! The little bright spot below the partial phase on the right side is Venus, which was super bright during totality!

Trying to come up with some unique ways to share all of the Total Solar Eclipse photos I have. I think this is a great way to show many different phases and parts from the eclipse!

These are a few of my favorite pictures of the Baily’s beads and diamond ring! The prominences were so large that you could see the bottom one during totality and they came out looking stunning in photos!

Had a great trip up to Indiana to capture some amazing photos of the Total Eclipse! Seeing a total solar eclipse for the first time was absolutely incredible and I’m grateful I was able to get so many great photos! These pictures are showing the progression of the first phase of the eclipse and going until totality🔆🌑
You can press and hold the dots below the image to quickly swipe through the first phase of the Total eclipse to totality!

The Total Lunar Eclipse from this morning feat. The Myrtle Beach Skywheel🌕🎡

These photos are showing the sun rising over Columbia all the way from the Lake Murray Dam!🌇
Between the lighting and foggy morning, the picture was very difficult to capture. This was the only day the weather allowed to get a chance at this photo and I'm happy with the way it turned out!!

A clean Supra🤍✨
