Solar Eclipse 2017 - Beginning to End I really had doubts that this one was going to work out!  The forecast was calling for a 60% chance of thunderstorms in Lancaster, PA.  I had some trouble with thick clouds in the beginning but in the end - it all worked out.  Each photo was made with a Canon 70D and a Canon 17-40 mm f/4L lens @ 36 mm.
