The sun was too bright to look at, even in 90% eclipse today, but I got a couple images for you. First, a peach in my garden taken at full eclipse, against the sun, with some peach leaves for a filter. Look at how strong the shadows are and how crisp the edges!
Second, a leafhopper walking across the uneclipsed crescent of the sun, totally unfazed, through a pinhole projector made of a sheet of tinfoil, casting an image on a sheet of paper.
If you’re going to see an eclipse, earth’s the place for it, I say.

Wonderful shots–love that leafhopper. I was also out there (here in Maryland, U.S.) with my aluminum foil pinhole projector. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the smiles and laugh. Yes, earth’s the place, no hype needed.

If you’re going to walk across 5,000 degree hydrogen, a leafhopper exoskeleton is just the thing. I once watched carpenter ants walk through a wall of flame and across red-and-yellow-and-white-hot coals. That would be a good outfit for a solar expedition, too. Thanks for playing along!
