News My friend captured these eclipse photos with his Pixel, and I'm pretty jealous

Well, instead of 'Totality' . . . it was a total flop here in west Michigan! :rolleyes: And to think we wasted our precious time driving around looking for eclipse glasses. :rolleyes: Here, it didn't even get half as dark as it did for the partial eclipse in 2017. In fact, it didn't even get as dark as when a regular cloud passes in front of the sun, and us. :rolleyes:
Nonetheless, one of the local news [ch 13] school-boy looking reporters (who looks like he's maybe 15 yrs old), was squeaking and gushing so much about the supposed 94% partial eclipse hardly noticeable nothing-ness, where he was located about 1/4 mile from us, that I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he peed in his panties! :rolleyes:

. . . I gotta rest my rolling eyes!

That's a bummer, I know people who drove quite a while to check out the total eclipse, although idk yet if they managed to capture it. Based on how the weather has been, I kinda doubt it. Some people just barely got to see it before the clouds rolled in :cry: I'm used to Seattle's cloudy weather so I never expect to see anything. I'm surprised I got as much of last year's eclipse as I did
 
It was cloudy in Alabama and we were under 90% totality but I still got some good shots with my Pixel 7 Pro and ProShot.

I took these along with about 80 other ones on my S23 ultra. We were in SE Michigan about an hour away from the edge of totality.
