Diamond ring

This is the one shot I had all my camera settings tailored to capture. Most of the other photographers around me thought I was crazy for trying to shoot an eclipse at f/32. I did it because I wanted an image of the last rays of Sun before being completely covered by the Moon; that moment you realize this is going to be very different than a partial eclipse, that feeling that made everyone in the path of the total eclipse go "oooh". It's not really how your eye sees it in that moment in time, but I think it illustrates exactly how you remember it later on.
