I used black film negatives stacked on top of each other to look at it. The clouds ruined it for people up north but I still got a nice 2 minute glimpse when it came out of the clouds

It probably burnt your retina, hopefully you don't wake up blind!

I got some pretty sick pictures. You gotta look through an x-ray, or a welder's lens, and you can look at it all you want. Luckily I had both :D. It was soooo sick

Timelapse we did during the eclipse. You can see how dark everything gets during the greatest extent.

Sunny day for me. only say 1/6th of the sun covered up. Cool nonetheless. And in 2017 in Kansas City there will be a full eclipse here. Stoked for that!!!
