IMG_4990c - Copy To be honest, I'm more than a little disappointed by my individual photos of the &quot;Ring of Fire&quot; eclipse. I'm very glad I traveled to the center line so I could get shots of the moon covering the exact center of the sun, but compared to seeing the brilliant corona in a full eclipse these seem lackluster.
Being there was worth it all, however, and I would do it again without hesitation!
Once I get all the photos into this album I'm sure they will have a greater impact... — IMG_4990c - Copy Credit: Dan Maxwell
