These eclipse pictures were taken by Steve Garren, one of the campers on the trip. It's impossible to take one picture of an eclipse that looks like the real thing, since the eye has so much more dynamic range than film (or a digital camera sensor). Another photographer has made a composite of several exposures, resulting in a fascinating image. I go to all these eclipses and don't take photos. It's more fun to watch, and there are so many people with the very best equipment, taking good photos. My old 500mm lens doesn't match my new D70 body focuswise, and I'm not going to spend 4 minutes making it all line up when I could be watching a glorious eclipse with Venus and Mercury and serried ranks of shadow bands (only after third contact). No sunset colors but dirt, no moonshadow to speak of, you never get everything in each eclipse. You have to choose between watching the first contact diamond ring and watching anything else cause it will leave an annoying trail on your eye. And so forth. This was a very nice eclipse, down to the east side/west side gang signs that the corona made sticking out on the sun's equatorial plane (which you can see best if you click on "Home" and look at the thumbnail of the composite image mentioned above).
