The Imperial Eclipse

I traveled to Imperial, Missouri to witness the eclipse, and stayed at a friend’s family farm along the Mississippi River.  It’s a quiet little place–except for the passing trains.

I spent the first several days scouting a site to photograph and witness my first solar eclipse totality, and settled on a spot along the river.  In the end I captured a few shots,  and I look forward to the next eclipse opportunity.  (I may have caught the eclipse chasing bug.)  Next time I hope to get some shots of totality through a telescope.

Hope you enjoy these shots of the place and the event.  In the landscape shot with the eclipse I have enlarged the sun, somewhat, but I think to a respectful level.  ( I knew some would wonder and others would ask.)  Each shot of the stages of the eclipse is an actual photo.  You’ll see a little cloud cover in one.  We really lucked out in terms of the weather. 

Many thanks to my host.  This was a spectacular place to witness the eclipse.  I have many more shots of the farm, which I’ll share in a later post.  Right now, copies of the stages of the eclipse photo are available as an unframed or framed print.  Click here to purchase a print.

An accidental shot of the eclipse from my GoPro which makes it look much smaller. However, you can see the depth of the darkness we experienced during totality.
