Background on this solar eclipse When I started this timelapse process, I didn’t realize how and fast the sun moved between 1 pm and 3 pm. I think I moved my tripod about four or five times over the 2.5 hours to get the sun to stay in the frame. My maximum zoom was set …

It feels good to bring this series to a more complete level. Originally I planned for four of these pictures but now I have six.
