Anyone else have their eclipse viewing ruined by clouds?
Was in south Ontario, the sky was clear for about an hour before totality, and then about 15 minutes before, a big dark cloud came in and ruined it.

Hamilton, up on the escarpment. Clouds were rolling through but it cleared enough to get this. Buddy used his eclipse glasses to capture this, I have a few shots without the glasses and the shots don't look half as good.
Sometimes a little cloud cover makes viewing the eclipse even better. I wasn’t too far away from the totality last year and saw this one:
Both shot with my mirrorless cropped from 200mm.
If he had used his eclipse glasses, you would see nothing. Eclipse glasses are for the lead up to full totality. Once totality hits, you take them off, as well as any camera filters you might be using. The light from the fully blocked sun is too dim to see through solar filters.
I thought as much but all of my pictures were drastically brighter and I couldn't replicate what he did. We have essentially the same phone so I assumed the glasses played a role in how dark it was
Well hello there. I'm closer to Niagara but in the same general area.
We had some clouds, but otherwise it was a good experience. Nice picture.
