[ADXA] The Eclipse

[Lanny Aldrich]

The Eclipse was a disappointment.  It got darker, the street lights came on and the temperature went down, but there was no total darkness.  GiGi was out in the back yard with me and went back to the mat at the back door sensing something was different!  With the glasses I could see a white crescent as the moon was about to cover the sun and a red crescent as it departed.  2017 in Cary, NC was about the same.

For the record, my issue is with the gov’t overhype and hysteria over an impending emergency management disaster, not with the eclipse!



Kim and I, along with our daughter, son-in-law, and youngest granddaughter, viewed the eclipse from our pool deck. Leading up to totality things were nice and routine. The real issue I experienced during totality was trying to fly my drone and grab motion video, still video from another camera, and still photographs. I needed a third hand, maybe four!!! The drone footage is neat as well as the still photographs but I forgot to take the filter off the video camera during totality, thus the video is not good during that time but very neat leading up to and after.



A nice still photograph is attached during totality without a filter on the still camera!



I hope everyone was able to ignore the drama and enjoy a nice, peaceful event.
