I tried to made a point of watching the eclipse with my own eyes and not through a camera, but I really like these two shots of the “diamond ring” I managed to get before totality. What a truly special experience.

The stage of the eclipse known as the "diamond ring" a second or two before totality. This is where the sun is almost completely occluded by the moon, with a brilliantly bright "diamond" at one edge. The stage of the eclipse known as the "diamond ring" 3 to 4 seconds before totality. This is where the sun is almost completely occluded by the moon, with a brilliantly bright "diamond" at one edge.
