So in case anyone was not watching the news lately (can't really blame you), you might not have been aware of the eclipse of the sun event. In Houston, we got about 95 percent eclipse. If we'd still been in San Antonio, they had a total eclipse there. Anyway, I still think I got some pretty decent pictures. I'll post more later, but this is at "totality" for us. I got this with my Nikon D5000 DSLR, with a Nikon 18-300MM Zoom lens. I also used a UV filter, with a ND8 (neutral density) filter, and an old solar eclipse viewing lens that we got in Hawaii back in 1992 to view an eclipse there. It's just one of those cheapie things all the stores and other places would give out for free. I had to hold that over the zoom lens to take the pictures. But hey...you gotta do what you gotta do, right!??
