Full totality, but not the typical shot

No photo of totality with my iPhone, but I had a minute or two to snap the first of two sundowns that day..

Unlike last time around in 2017, I didn’t get a photo of totality. I figured I would just enjoy the experience, just like Bill Nye suggested.

And you know what, I’m not in the least bit upset. It was an awesome experience, even without the photographs that so many others got. And it’s one I’ll never forget.

I did bring my dSLR and, of course, my iPhone. But I quickly realized I didn’t want to spend the time fiddling with the Nikon and the quick swipe at totality with the iPhone didn’t work. And it was cool. I spent almost the entire 55 seconds in 2017 taking photos and didn’t get a chance to really enjoy it.

This time around, I had more than 3 minutes. I could breathe a little easier not being worried about whether the technology was going to work and just experience totality, well, totally.

And, along the edges, some of the other cool sights.
