A compilation of several camera angles of the 2017 Solar Eclipse from a rooftop in Isle of Palms, South Carolina. Cloud coverage cleared up just in time for totality! While the totality itself is absolutely amazing to see in person, it is also an experience to see what the eclipse does to the surrounding landscape. We experienced some distant thunderstorms which made our experience even more unique.
There are six camera angles:
- East facing camera (Sony NEX 5)
- West facing camera (Sony Alpha 6000)
- Camera facing zenith (straight up) (Fujifilm XP70)
- User operated camera with telephoto lens (Sony Alpha 6000)
- User operated camera with wide angle lens (Samsung Galaxy S7)
- Aerial camera (DJI Mavic Pro)
Shadow can be seen moving east to west in some of the camera shots, very subtle but definitely there. Theoretically if there was no atmosphere, the shadow's edge would be very sharp and could be seen moving very quickly (1500 mph). Due to the atmosphere and cloud coverage, the shadow is softer and therefore appears to move much slower.
