I'm trying to take some photos, but it's a PITA to hold my welding mask up in front of the camera.

They have special filters for cameras, but I didn't think of it in time. Oh well, I'm going to set up an ol' pinhole viewer.

Pretty cool eclipse, I got some special glasses things so I can stare at it. I like the way the light gets really flat, pretty cool.

I took a bunch of pictures, including a time-lapse w/ the GoPro (until the battery died... should have started it an hour later I guess)
