“Totality 2024 Sequence”
Description:
This photograph compiles the full progression of the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse as seen from Maine, including partial phases and totality. The event was Maine’s first total solar eclipse since 1963 and the second total solar eclipse visible in the United States in the twenty-first century.
Story:
Witnessing a total solar eclipse is an out-of-body experience. Religious. Spiritual. Awesome. This composite shows in one photograph the entire eclipse from when the moon first touches the sun to when the moon is about to depart. The eclipse was over 2 hours long with totality lasting 3 minutes and 21 seconds.
In 2017, I had only taken a serious interest in photography since January of that same year. When the total solar eclipse occurred on August 21st, I was not in a position to record it. Instead, I focused on taking photos the people who made the moment special: my family (mother, father, and brother).
It took specialized camera equipment and the knowledge of how to use it combined with editing skills refined over years to create this composite.
