The setting sun going into full annular eclipse this past May 20th provided such a unique lifetime event to enjoy! See my first post of this event in the comments below.
This was taken at the Navajo Nation near Canyon de Chelly, AZ. Our location put us within a mere couple thousand feet of the center line for the eclipse, hard to complain about that proximity! ;-)))
Image Notes: In order to extend dynamic range three exposures were hand-blended.
starrypix, WillyWilly13, Ray Hyder, and 130 other people added this photo to their favorites.

An amazing shot and extra, extra credit for all the post work. There was lots of light and there's no account of the hours of processing. Excellent (as usual) work, Michael.
