22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Eclipse

The 2024 Great American Eclipse was nothing short of incredible. I was able to watch it from the center of the path of totality, and seeing the sky develop dead pixels was something I won’t soon forget. My agenda/timeline smartly included a reminder to stop shooting and experience the incredible phenomena – a necessary addition that was put to very good use. With a bevvy of cameras and months of practice, I ended up thrilled with the result; this composite includes the phases of the eclipse leading up to and departing from totality.
