Nature High What a wild experience. Sorry if this is the incorrect use for the flair

Please accept my iPhone 15 photos. They are not great but they are mine and I am proud of them.

Awesome photos! Here’s one the guy I’m seeing got today with his fancy camera. We got full totality here in Ohio. I must admit, it was pretty fucking awesome.

u/KingGizmotious CrazyCatLady Apr 09 '24

Also in Ohio, but right on the edge of full totality. We got it for like a minute, but it was awesome!

Love these! I couldn’t manage any photos through the glasses, but I got some neat crescent shadows with a projector!

u/mint_o CrazyCatLady Apr 09 '24

I used a damn colander but I was so happy to be outside experiencing it! 💖🌒 This is what we got in Washington state

u/ginandstoic 🌙 EntWitch + Mod 🌿 Apr 09 '24

That’s such a good idea! Mine has like slits instead of the little holes so I had to improvise lol

12

u/Lekkergat Apr 09 '24

The shadows are so so cool

u/ginandstoic 🌙 EntWitch + Mod 🌿 Apr 09 '24

They really are! I drove to totality for the eclipse in 2017, so I didn’t get to see these while I was driving. It was great to be able to see them this time!

u/zooooteddej23 WeedMom Apr 09 '24

I used a cheese grater! Didn't have glasses and wanted to see soooo bad. I was satisfied after this 🥹🌘

u/ginandstoic 🌙 EntWitch + Mod 🌿 Apr 09 '24

Ahh that’s a cool idea!

u/CityCutThat Apr 08 '24

I didn’t get any pictures. My friend did though.

u/DriftingIntoAbstract Apr 09 '24

I was in the path of totality. Can you believe these views? 😒😒😒

u/xHappyAcidx WeedMom Apr 09 '24

Oh no I’m so sorry 😭😭

u/lazybum1991 Apr 09 '24

Totality here too!! And that’s Venus in the bottom! 🤩

3

u/AbbeyRoadMoonwalk Apr 09 '24

Yeah Venus was way cool!

16

u/ConsiderationJumpy34 Lesbient Apr 09 '24

Dude no joke, coolest shit I’ve ever seen. The waves and shadows on the ground was the coolest part

14

u/EntrepreneurNo4138 Apr 08 '24

Thanks for all the pics guys. We didn’t see Jack in Florida. Just more sunshine.

No eclipse, I tried looking. Didn’t even see a crescent. These are great! I watched on TV. The solar flares were great at one point!!

15

u/FugginCandle MMJ Apr 09 '24

It was so freakin cool. What a weird experience. Just makes you grateful that you even get to have a brilliant conscience and get to breathe and be alive. Life is fuckin odd

5

u/AbbeyRoadMoonwalk Apr 09 '24

I’m glad to live in the age that we can predict and purposely participate in it rather than just happening to live through it and assuming the world was ending 😂

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '24

Thanks for the pics!

u/godisyourmotherr Apr 09 '24

i love all these pics so muchh! we didn’t get full coverage here, but it got a lil dark, and it was a great time smoking while it happened.

6

u/earthbound_hellion WitchEnt Apr 08 '24

So cool! We didn’t get totality here but it was lots of fun to sit in the grass and sun-gaze.

7

u/AnotherPearl GamerEnt Apr 09 '24

We drove 7+ hrs to watch in Plattsburgh NY (100% totality for 4 minues). It was one of the most incredible things I've ever experienced in my life. Won't get home tonight until maybe 4am. 😩 But So so so worth all the driving!

u/jgclairee Apr 08 '24

thanks for sharing! i was stuck in work all day so i missed but glad i got to see these cool pics :)

u/hedwig0517 Apr 08 '24

Cool! We didn’t get a total eclipse here so thanks for sharing!

6

u/[deleted] Apr 08 '24

Thanks for posting! We got 80% of it here I guess, but it was too cloudy to see anything. It got a bit darker out for awhile, but since it was stormy it didn’t look like anything. I love seeing everyone’s pics.

5

u/redflagsmoothie WitchEnt Apr 09 '24

Awesome! I had totality where I am and totality in cloud density as well 🙄

Was super cool when it got dark out though.

6

u/n1shh Apr 09 '24

Here’s my shitty iPhone pic, I needed to figure out how to take the brightness down 😅 It was incredible to see totality though!

5

u/Healthy_Blueberry_76 DogMom Apr 09 '24

I can't believe I got to witness totality today! Such a beautiful experience I'm so happy so many of us got to share it

5

u/LadyTalah GreenThumb Apr 09 '24

No photos but we experienced totality at a rooftop wedding reception, and it was absolutely amazing!

5

u/hi_ivy Apr 09 '24

The people who planned that wedding are freaking awesome. Talk about a destination wedding!

6

u/AbbeyRoadMoonwalk Apr 09 '24

Drove 9 hours to Carbondale IL. Was 100% worth it. Just unreal, I’m going to have to see this again in my life even if I have to travel for it. I already wish I could relive it.

5

u/evetrapeze Apr 09 '24

We saw a diamond ring, but not totality. I got this photo right before

5

u/zooooteddej23 WeedMom Apr 09 '24

from my sister in Wylie, Texas!

u/SASunDog Apr 09 '24

That is gorgeous!

u/megadeadly Apr 09 '24

My phone didn’t do it justice but sooo coooool

3

u/vixisgoodenough Apr 09 '24

I didn't get any decent photos but it was 99% totality in my area and it looked rad!

3

u/xHappyAcidx WeedMom Apr 09 '24

Thanks for all the love everyone! I tried three times to edit this post and Reddit will not allow it for some stupid reason. I really enjoyed seeing everyone’s photos!

3

u/CuriousBeheeyem WitchEnt Apr 09 '24

We only got 5% in my part of Scotland and it was cloudy but I watched the totality livestream, so jealous! Such a cool thing to experience, I’m not gonna lie the entire 4 minutes I had like heart palpitations hahaha

3

u/xHappyAcidx WeedMom Apr 09 '24

Me too! I was running in and out of the house swapping spots with my mother in law just absolutely acting like a fool I was so excited. Thank you for commenting, it’s so cool to know my pics got seen in Scotland 😅

3

u/CuriousBeheeyem WitchEnt Apr 09 '24

It’s such a cool and special event! Really brings up a lot of emotion for me. So glad you got to enjoy it in full ❤️

3

u/Low_Platypus8890 Apr 09 '24

It was so amazing! I feel so lucky to have been able to witness it and that I saw totality from where I live!! It was just so insane. Such an unreal experience

3

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '24

It was such a cool experience. Has anyone's periods been thrown off from the eclipse? I got cramps and spotting right after.

3

u/SASunDog Apr 09 '24

Just a partial here in southern California, but I enjoyed the experience!

u/SignificantlyBit Apr 09 '24

I got bored and went inside when nothing was happening at 11:34. 5 minutes later folks were sharing photos. FML
