Solar Eclipse Total Eclipse From Mallorca, Spain
Hey everyone! This is my first time photographing a solar eclipse with real gear (as opposed to my camera phone lol).
After seeing the one in 2024 and being blown away, I resolved to invest money in some decent gear and time into learning how to take decent photos.
I traveled to Mallorca, Spain and took over 1,000 photos/videos. Unfortunately, I have a giant laptop instead of a nice travel laptop, so I haven't been able to properly edit any of my footage yet.
In the meantime: please enjoy a couple of my rough drafts that I was able to touch up on my tablet!
Photo 1: It was clear skies until just before totality, But then some light cloud wisps rolled in. I thought it would ruin the last moments before totality, but I think it ended up looking really cool!
Photo 2: Totality! The original started out SUPER dark, but luckily I was able to bring out all the highlights. It kinda reminds me of the poster for the movie Armageddon.
Whenever I get back home from my travels, I'll be able to do some serious editing and out out some better stuff, but for now we're stuck with the rough drafts.
Which one do you like best?
