The experience of viewing the eclipse shared with my family. We drove out to the desert for better viewing. We were blessed with 70% totality and a wonderful time.
Great photo. That could be from out of the '50s. Cool to share it with your family. That's what we did. And my youngest daughter texted us from her first day of work at her first job after college. She told us that Facebook(her employer) gave all the newbies 20 minutes off to watch the eclipse so she made new friends by sharing her cheapo eclipse glasses. Yours look way more substantial than ours btw. Also, they're coming out with an anniversary edition re-release of Close Encounters of the Third Kind in theaters soon. I saw the trailer recently and I can tell you that you family and your posing of them looks like it could have been taking right out of that film.
@kali66 Thank you very much, my family allowed me to take the selfie for fun but it turned out much better than I thought.
@jclaireyp Thank you a great deal, I am glad that my son was there. I let my husband have the good camera since it was his solar filter and I just wanted to get more my type of shots.
@mbrutus Thank you, that is one of my all time favorite movies. Those glasses were our 2nd set as the 1st were from Amazon and we were told that they couldn't be trusted to be safe. I went to Lowell Observatory to get some ISO compliant ones. I did have more fun not taking many actual sun shots - it was my husband's day to use my DSLR -his lens,filter but my 2x converter. I don't always ask them to take selfies but they agreed. The moto X cell phone camera is actually a fairly decent camera. I have upgraded phones but keep this one around for its camera.
@francoise My family is mostly introverts so being at less than 100% totality was probably for the best. Driving out of town for sun exposure also helped - even less people which made my son much more comfortable.
@sdutoit Thank you, we had 70% coverage but so glad that I wasn't in the 100% path, I understand it was insane. I am much more of a experience things in a small doses kinda girl. My apologies for the late response
@mcsiegle Thank you, I don't indulge in selfies too much, I never get them looking like I want. My son and husband humored me with this tough.
