It's less a Batman building and more like Barad-Dur :D -
I was paying so much attention to the color of the sunset that I didn't even notice the couple walking along the beach until the second or third time I looked at the image on a computer screen.© Bruce H McIntosh

Kind of looks like a Cylon :D -
I'm intrigued... where does the track go, and where did it used to go over your right shoulder? It's a great visual metaphor for the past being gone behind us and no longer reachable, but the futures still offering options and change, as indicated by the turnout up ahead. Which way is it thrown? Which way will you go? Nice image. I'm not usually dragged into such a philosophical space just by looking at a photograph. :D -

I went back through the set and found another couple I more or less deem worth uploading... The ONE bit of pre-totality cloudiness was one small patch that only lasted a minute, much to everyone's relief. This was the best of the diamond ring shots; with the lens flare (which I'm not sure is attributable to the Sigma itself, the converter, or maybe the interface between the two) it sort of looks like an eyeball with the optic nerve sticking off the back. :) And finally a post-event full solar disc, with so dreadfully few sunspots (a calamity from the point of view of a ham radio nut with a VHF fixation :))

All things considered, it went quite well. The tripod was too flimsy and the focus was a bit too fiddly, but I had a grand old time. Big problem I hit was, leaving the camera on live view so much let the sensor and electronics overheat, and the camera crashed right as I was starting the 1/4000-1sec run at the start of totality. Had to pop the battery and let the camera cool off a few times during the waning phase. This was the D7000, Sigma 400/f5.6APO mf tele, Kenko Pro 2x converter, homemade filter with Thousand Oaks filter medium... manual, f/11, 1/250, ISO 200.

ARGH! I'm rapidly approaching my wit's end. I'm trying to figure out how the blazes to automate shooting a range of shutter speeds with a tethering app on my Linux laptop. I've tried Darktable and Entangle. From stuff I've seen on various online forums both apps ought to be able to do this, but I can't for the life of me figure out how in either, nor can I find any useful information online on how to do it in either. I'd really rather not have to point and click my way down the shutter speed menu and spend the entire totality diddling with a keyboard. :( Anyone familiar with either of these apps, or could suggest another? I'd even take a skeleton of a shell script I could use against gphoto2 at this point.
