| Solar Eclipse near its highest point in Salt Lake City May 20, 2012. |
A solar eclipse is an awe-inspiring thing to witness. For those of you
who don't know it is when the moon passes between the earth and the sun.
The moon casts its shadow on the earth and if you are in the right
place with the right conditions you can see and amazing thing. The sun
will appear first as a crescent and then as a "ring of fire" if you are
in the right spot at the right time.
When the solar eclipse happened Sunday I was a four to five hour drive
from where the Ring of Fire could be seen. I was unable to go witness
the Ring of Fire but I got to see the moon cover about 90% of the sun.
It was spectacular! I did have to travel about 10 - 15 miles though
because a giant cloud obscured my view of the event.
The following images are photos I took of the eclipse over about an hour
period. Some are seen through clouds and others are not. Some I
adjusted the white balance too to make them a little more interesting.
The lens flares are the way they were taken. The only think I might
have adjusted are contrast and white balance. Enjoy the view I had.
