Ouch, My eyes

[Mike]

Saw this bute today, it was sick. My first solar eclipse. My only eye protection were sun glasses, not recommended but better than my bare eyes. India to China to the Pacific Islands were able to see this. It was the longest solar eclipse in recorded history.



Awesome sight to see, pretty cool for it to go from day, to night, and back to day in a matter of minutes

Mike, where are your own pics of this?

[Quartney]

ok so apparently i was around 10 hahaha so yeah thats like 5th grade, my memory isnt toooooo horrible then

[Mike]

corey, i tried taking pictures to no avail. It was super bright out, i fucked with the manual settings, shutter speed as fast as it would go, closed up the aperture to let minimal light in, and messed with some other settings like exposure compensation but couldnt get a good picture. Instead of fucking with the camera for awhile to try and get it right, I just enjoyed the scene and watched it with my eyes. It would suck to miss it because I was too busy messing with a camera.
