What, no Eclipse thread??

I took this one setting up for the show and then fell asleep.

IPT, can I ask how you exposed for that first shot to allow enough light from the sky without blowing out the foreground or vice versa?

Andrew - sick detail. You can even see the poles. I'll bet you can see some amazing things with that thing!

About the first exposure, it just fell into place on it's own. Normally under tough (high contrast) situations I would just bracket and blend. In this case it was night-time. Those little string lights and the light from the house were not all that bright. The moonlight and a long exposure did most of the rest. I don't even remember if it was this image or not but I did take some images where I "painted" the front door with a headlamp light. It was in the shadows compared to the rest of the scene.
 
Nice job for a first attempt. Too bad our cameras can't handle that type of dynamic range yet.
