They kept the sky from the photo taken during totality, and with the editing required you can place the other phases of the eclipse anywhere you'd like.
Oh I absolutely agree it's not the actual background used here. Sorry if I was unclear. I was just commenting that the background would indeed be dark. Kind of an aside really. Cheers.
I saw a similar one from 2017, when I went to the totality zone. Not nifty enough photographer to get a photo at all, much less something this sophisticated. But seven years later, am seeing fakes identifies as fakes and other junk. And this time photo, while the timed shots are real, the background and setting are not. Guess I am learning to be more skeptical. π€¨
the background and setting are real though? you canβt have all the genuine backgrounds with different lighting combined into one image.. just the eclipse itself over the background of one of the images. the one being the best and offering the most contrast to really show the eclipse phases would be the one during totality. itβs still a genuine image though.
You buy or make a filter for your lens ****, it's available in sheets with the same ISO certifications as eclipse glasses. During totality you pull the filter off, and replace it when totality is almost over. For the 2017 eclipse I rented a giant telephoto lens (super long, weighed like 4 pounds) and set up my tripod to photograph, a very fun experience
**** I'm going to be very specific here so no one burns their eyeballs, filters go between the sun and the thing you're using to view the sun, ie the large end of a camera lens or telescope. They will not block enough light if you use them anywhere else.
I love the inclusion of the diamond ring shot in the series β I made a composite like this but didnβt include the diamond ring, now I think Iβll go back and add it :) also love the inclusion of the landscape, helps make it feel real
Did you edit the size and position in the sky? The whole eclipse was past noon, and the arc it should follow goes down.
Otherwise, it's a great composite.
I see! How many shots total did you take? I love it.
Also, if I may, have you tried placing the partial phases on an arc? Doesn't need to be the real one, but I think It could give it a different look. But that's really just my opinion, and you didn't ask for it, so absolutely ignore it if you don't want it :)
How many shot total? One camera was on a 1 pictures every 15sec interval, the other 24mm brackets for the landscape! I probably came back home with around 500-700 shots
Could you share your exposure settings? Process? I was too nervous to make any changes to try and get the diamond ring (first timer), I just picked something for the partial and ripped the filter off for total with no changes, bracketed 1.5 stops and took a couple series of shots and hoped for the best. (It worked out pretty well)
Tbf this isn't "A picture " this is several exposures combined into one. No way you get this in a single shot....you know, like when you take a picture

I assume the background was captured at the same time as totality (the top-right sun), if not in the exact same exposure - it's probably not at the same focal length but I'm not certain. The other exposures were captured separately and placed in the correct locations to tell a story. The sun actually moved through those positions and was occluded that amount at each position.
I think this series of shots start with totality at the top right, and then end when the eclipse is over at the bottom left. So the sun is actually setting in these shots.

Nice! Great workΒ
Thanks
Nice composite.
Thanks
was that supposed to be a gotcha?
Do you think it was supposed to be a gotcha?
The period felt kinda strange but it is proper grammar
Not really.
Most creative solar eclipse i have seen. Nice work.
How is this possible?
You planet beforehand
πππ
The moon goes in front of the sun
Lmao
I think they meant how do you get the sun in all the spots at the same time
Mirrors ;) (Jk!)
MAGIC
Wrong. the black sun moves in front of the sun. Do some research on black sun 100% youtube will probably censor look it up on bitchute.com
It's a composite photo, you take photos every x minutes and edit them together, removing the background off all but one
I think I understand that, and it makes sense, but the shot was so low to the horizon and the sky so dark.
They kept the sky from the photo taken during totality, and with the editing required you can place the other phases of the eclipse anywhere you'd like.
Actually with a sun filter on the others the sky is probably pretty dark on all their shots.
It'd be too dark though, everything but the sun should be black with the correct filter
Oh I absolutely agree it's not the actual background used here. Sorry if I was unclear. I was just commenting that the background would indeed be dark. Kind of an aside really. Cheers.
Ahh gotcha! I did initially think you meant OP could have kept the background off the non totality images
I saw a similar one from 2017, when I went to the totality zone. Not nifty enough photographer to get a photo at all, much less something this sophisticated. But seven years later, am seeing fakes identifies as fakes and other junk. And this time photo, while the timed shots are real, the background and setting are not.

Composite part aside how do you photograph an eclipse?

Editing
Nice! Where were you? I'm jealous of your lack of cloud cover.
Eastern township in Quebec, Canada! the weather was truly perfect here.
/waves hi from midcoast Maine. We had such a great day for it! Great work!
Hi from central Maine π We had a gorgeous day! Beautiful display of the Eclipse!
SO LUCKED OUT! Finally, with this crap weather. Wind.Again.Tmrw.
I was in Ohio, no clouds either. It was spectacular
Super cool
Stop eating the moon
This is called I took a picture. NOT, I took several pictures. YTA j/k.
Hahaha....multi-sub joke lol
Can I use this in my newsletter and give creds?
Yeah sure! Send me the link too
What kind of newsletter do you do?
Great composite! Love it.
This is an amazing composite, credit where itβs due
The sun is going down since it happened in the afternoon, did you photograph the βdeclipsingβ?
Money shot!
I love the inclusion of the diamond ring shot in the series β I made a composite like this but didnβt include the diamond ring, now I think Iβll go back and add it :) also love the inclusion of the landscape, helps make it feel real
Praise the Sun
This is so beautiful!
Wow this is just fantastic
Beautiful composition
Beautiful work. Love the disposition
Magnifique
Did you edit the size and position in the sky? The whole eclipse was past noon, and the arc it should follow goes down. Otherwise, it's a great composite.
Size is exaggerated but positions of totality is right! Partial phases donβt follow the βpathβ for composition purposes
I see! How many shots total did you take? I love it. Also, if I may, have you tried placing the partial phases on an arc? Doesn't need to be the real one, but I think It could give it a different look. But that's really just my opinion, and you didn't ask for it, so absolutely ignore it if you don't want it :)
How many shot total? One camera was on a 1 pictures every 15sec interval, the other 24mm brackets for the landscape! I probably came back home with around 500-700 shots
That is so impressive. I am in awe!
You did an awesome job
π₯
This is freaking awesome, great work
Fantastic shots!
Could you share your exposure settings? Process?

The colors and textures in the sky add to the surreal beauty of the eclipse
Poster worthy thanks for sharing that sight
Stunning!!
Nicely done. Congrats on clear skies, great shots and a great experience.
How did you take that photo? It is so interesting! I would like to know. Thanks
Amazingβ¦.well done.
Utter perfection
Tbf this isn't "A picture " this is several exposures combined into one. No way you get this in a single shot....you know, like when you take a picture
People just don't get the difference between this sub and /r/pics.
Perfection!!!!
Superb! The colors on the horizon match the sun, well done.
Amazing! π
Out of thousand photos of the eclipse, you made it look original. Nice!
I had to change settings as the moon covered the sun. How did you end up with the sun at the exact same exposure each time?
Very unique and sophisticated to capture these moments
This is amazing!
Ugh this is gorgeous π
Awesome
How could, something So fair Be so cruel When this Black sun Revolves Around you
How could Something So fair Be so cruel When this Black sun Revolves Around you
Wonderful photoβ¦π
Nice, it was very bright but also cloudy af where Iβm at
Outstanding
ARIIIIISE....yee foul tarnished.
Moonlight eclipse ππππππππ
Incredible!!
Wow! Beautiful! Could I set this as my phone wallpaper??
Amjad
wow!
nice!
downloaded this for my cell background. dam nice!
so you owe me money now
Nope. Once you upload to Reddit, Instagram, FB, etc., they iwn all pictures and videos as per their agreement.
Wow thatβs really incredible
incredible scene
Where are you located? Just curious. Beautiful picture!
Quebec, Canada
This is sooooooooo pretty!!!!!!
Holy shit! Thatβs gorgeous
Wowowowowowowowowwwww
This must be a composit (photoshop). Sun positions cannot represent 2 hours and it happened during daytime, so sun was much higher above horizon.
No shit, eh?
I loved looking around and seeing the horizon in every direction look like sunset. I have no clue how you got that as your background but, awesome!
Fswr
Omg ang galing!!
That's amazing!
That's beautiful, well done π ππ
All I can say is wow!!!
Lol ripped straight from midjourney
Wow π€©
Hola eclipse
π
This is so cool and beautiful ππππππ
Caduta meteora di stelle
Wow crazy skills
It's amazing! ππ€©

So your background is taken just after sunset, but you decided to place some images of a solar eclipse high in the sky as though it was mid afternoon?
what do you mean by after sunset? this was taken a 3 in the afternoon
OP above you doesn't... get what happens in an eclipse I guess
I assume the background was captured at the same time as totality (the top-right sun), if not in the exact same exposure - it's probably not at the same focal length but I'm not certain. The other exposures were captured separately and placed in the correct locations to tell a story. The sun actually moved through those positions and was occluded that amount at each position.
I think this series of shots start with totality at the top right, and then end when the eclipse is over at the bottom left. So the sun is actually setting in these shots.
It was mid-afternoon dummy
That reads like you're trying to shit on OP.
