Solar Eclipse 2017
 

Surprised there isn't a thread on this already. o3o

Share your photo's and videos of the eclipse! Are you using the App NASA wants people to use to help record clouds and temps? (I was going to but I don't have a proper thermometer)

Make sure not to stare at the sun with out proper protection! oxo And make sure your phone/camera can handle taking photos of the sun..

Unfortunately no one near me is giving out the NASA Eclipse Glasses for free (our library says they never got any in..) and so the neighbor is gonna try to check walmart on her way back from the drs and get us a pair if they have some. if Not.. oh well >-> I'll use my camera.. xD

But yea.. share your photos here! OvO

I wanna get pics of my cat zeke's reactions too.. he's the only one trained to walk on a leash. I wish i could take kuromi and hiro out as well >x<

Unfortunately, I will be inside at work during the eclipse. And as much as I wish I could get pictures with my cell phone, as one of my coworkers pointed out, it's very likely to ruin the camera. So no go for me on all aspects.
But I look forward to seeing what everyone else gets!

They have actually now stated that Selfie mode on your phone isn't safe….

Which sucks cause I was gonna use that. We are in the 96% Totality Zone

Just watched the live stream of it, it's pretty cool. Sucks I have to be at work right now but at least I'll still, hopefully, be alive when it swings back around in 2024 when I can go up to upstate New York and see it.

I wish I could've seen anything from it, but my location was (and still is) completely foggy today... got to watch it on tv, I guess, but that's not quite the same lol.

My area was suppose to have it start at 1:08PM and peak at 2:33PM.. its now 3:15PM and NOTHING happened here in Ohio.. we were suppose to have a Partial Eclipse here. =/

I'll prolly go out side every so often to check to see if stuff is happening but.. I doubt it =o= so disappointed

It happened! Trust me! But if you arent wearing glasses it takes reflections to notice. Or looking outside to see how dark it is…. but either way it happened. The next one in the US is 2024!

NEXT US ECLIPSE!!

Oooh nice picture Gizmo, did you take that yourself?

Yup I rigged up a goofy contraption on my phones camera so basically it was like the phone was wearing special glasses, then turned my head away aimed the phone to the sky and set it on take multiple photos mode and walla unfortunately it didn't get the colors

It didn't even get dark here not even a little bit. it was bright all day until the rain hit.. it went from super sunny and bright to rainy in like.. 5 seconds ._.,

reflections.. next time i'm taking mirrors with me >w>

Haha that sounds like how things went down here in MD, Demonskid.

HA Not alone!

though.. when Tiva said reflections.. I'm taking a closer look at the pics I took o3o in almost every photo.. there is a little round dot at the start, then it gets smaller and smaller and more crescent shaped then it grows into a dot again..

But it didn't get dark here at ALL! O-O

It wasn't that dark most of the darkness of mine is from the phones special glassese like layer thingy sun shade darkness and I actually had the flash on because I wasn't sure if I needed it so I am not positive what of mine is what as far as the glow but I like the unique eyeball type turnout of it


Wish I could of got different phases but I got a good photo of my foot when I sneezed and moved the phone -.- my other photos really suck

What did you to to make that thingy for your phone? o3o
