As promised, here are my photos taken of the eclipse this morning. I got a few images which I am very happy with. I was using a Sony Handycam with a 54x digital zoom. I covered my camera lens with a piece of "2017 Eclipse Glasses" which were of the proper type for wearing over your eyes while looking directly at the sun. It seemed like a no-brainer to me: if its' good enough to protect your eyes, it should be good enough to protect your camera - but I'm just an amateur at this, so I really don't know what I'm doing. It was difficult to get my camera to stay still enough to take clear photos, but I did get a few good ones!
I think this was my best photo of the 100% eclipse.
The moon starts its' crossing...
The moon is really starting to make its' presence known...
The moon covering the sun by about 50%...
The moon mostly covering the sun...
100% eclipse!
The moon begins to pass out of the suns' light...
I like how you can start to really see the 3D shape of the moon in this photo...
The sun begins to dominate the sky again.

After the eclipse event, I paddled around the lake for a couple of hours with my wife and our two dogs. We had a great time. Again, all I was able to catch on film - as far as wildlife went - was a damn bird. We did see a beaver, several ducks, some fish, and even a deer that came down to the waters' edge to get a drink. I find that you must be constantly ready to take a picture when you're out on a trip because, just when you're not prepared, that's always when it seems like you see the most amazing animals. That seems to be "Murphys' Law" for me, if I want to capture some pictures of any wildlife.
If you have some of your own photos of the eclipse to share, feel free to leave me a link in the comments section. I'd be more than happy to check them out and give you an upvote.
