I live in southeastern Idaho and my town was in the direct path of the total eclipse. We have been hearing about the event non-stop for weeks on our local news. Much preparation was taken by our small town to prepare for the large crowds expected to come. Many locals called it the Apoc-eclipse. No one had any idea how it would effect the area and we were all encouraged to have food, water, fuel, etc. for two weeks on hand. The arrival of all the visitors went smoothly and travelers trickled in over the past week. I think now that everyone is leaving there are some traffic problems. But, all in all, I think it went well. Now as far as photography. I gave it some serious thought and decided that since I would probably only see one total eclipse in my lifetime, and the totality where we were viewing was 1 minute 57 seconds, I wanted to be able to enjoy the experience and not fiddle around with my camera. So here is my only eclipse photo taken more than an hour before totality. My husband had to work, so I spent the experience with some people who are pretty special to me. Eight of my 15 grandkids. The eclipse was too awesome for words, and no photos could ever do it justice. Hope that my mind can remember it forever!! I look forward to see all your awesome photos of it!!
