Solar Eclipse 2017

Anyone else watch the Eclipse? It was interesting to see how quickly the sky went back to "normal". Taken in Southern Indiana USA

This is the first time I've shot in RAW as I saw somewhere that it was recommended for the eclipse. That being said, I ended up having to use an online converter to turn it Jpeg because it wouldn't upload to 365 for some reason. If anyone has any tips, it would be appreciated.

No editing because how in the world do you edit an eclipse shot? ha.ha.

I placed a protective glass in front of the lens and then settings were: F/8, ISO 200, 1/80 Exposure time. Manual mode.

Again my first time shooting in RAW, so if anyone has any tips etc please let me know.
That's about the same amount of the sun that was blocked here. I had no glass or special lens so only looked at it through the paper eclipse glasses. Thias is really nice. I think the photos on 365 have to be in jpeg because RAW ones are too large. The FAQs in the "Getting Started Guide" at the bottom of this screen state 'Currently you can upload JPEG, GIF and PNG files. All files uploaded should be under 5MB in size.'

Awesome shot. I didn't have the glasses but I tried to take a couple of pictures of it but it was a total failure. We were to get 80 percent of an eclipse here but I couldn't tell at all.
