Just back from the lake. Fine show, especially as the eclipsed sun sank
into the silhouetted trees on the horizon. We could see a sunspot in the
upper left quadrant before the moon covered it. Many exposures, starting
with Roger's suggestion and then wide ranging brackets, as well as metering
on the adjacent view. Surely something will come out (?!)
Here in east central Iowa it was nip and tuck to catch the sun between the
clouds. I shot it from one of my favorite north-south "ridge roads." This
is the first eclipse I've ever photographed and the first I've ever
followed with naked eye. Kodachrome 25, tried both spot and auto readings
with OM-4 but mostly settled into auto reading of mixed sky and horizon
just to one side of the sun and shot mostly in manual mode. Your basic
sunset disk with lower left quadrant missing! Hope I knew what I was doing.
