Picked my wife up from the Nashville International Airport (BNA) this weekend, and just happened to see a nice patch of clouds. So I shot an auto-exposure bracket and stacked them in Photoshop using the Overlay blending mode.

The Great American Eclipse of 2017, as seen from Mt. Juliet, Tennessee (a.k.a. my version of the eclipse composite).

The end of totality. The very next frame I shot was a complete blow-out (shot without the solar filter). This is probably my favorite shot of the entire ~3 hour eclipse.

I know this is a pretty plain, uneventful photo, but nonetheless I feel compelled to give a shout-out to the fine folks at PhotoPills. PhotoPills is one hell of an app—most photographers use it to create stunning astronomical photos, but I’m just getting started with the app, so it’s enough that it let me know when the Moon would appear on the back side of my house where I’m shielded from street lights… Thanks!
Here it comes…
Storms coming.
