Here's a picture I took October 8th while on vacation. Got more of other scenes and will share at some point.

On the visit to Magnolia Plantation and Gardens in Charleston, SC.

^ Looking at that on my smallish (by todays standards) phone, thinking what *is* that... then I saw the eye.
Great photo

@hamradio: What is that - a mouse peeking out, or something? I can't make it out.

It's an alligator's eyes poking up out of some water covered with plant life.

@hamradio: Ahh. Of course. Fascinating how one's paradigms can mess with one's perceptions. I was convinced that was some kind of wet crabgrass, or something, though I did keep thinking that it looked rather like pond scum, but then my preconception was of a "park" environment, where (in my mind) you don't have crocs, so my brain obligingly filtered that out of what the eyes were seeing - but of course you do get crocs there. I could see it instantly after @Deozaan explained what it was. Blinkers off.
What a great shot!

Hand held Olympus SH-60, wouldn't focus once maximum eclipse reached, (not enough light).

Wow nice.

So nice

tomos · « **Reply #110 on:** February 01, 2018, 03:34 AM »

Yes lovely

The incomplete eclipse probably makes a better picture than the full one anyways

(We missed it here -- was just before moonrise, cloudy anyways.)

4wd · « **Reply #111 on:** February 01, 2018, 06:15 AM »

Thanks, second shot was 27 minutes short of 00:29, (maximum eclipse), but still within the time frame of the total eclipse, (23:51-01:07).

One day I might get another tripod to replace the one that broke years ago .... now when's the next eclipse

From last October. Anyone want to guess where this is?

I'd just be making a wild guess...somewhere in Europe :p
Somewhere in France?

You may have a point there. Not safe either. Looking at those images gave me an uneasy feeling, and then my left upper eyelid started to twitch. I think it was a lunar tic.

Not to worry, it's just a phase you're going through.

What a coincidence! That's exactly what the psychiatrist said to me at the hospital, after the doctors had patched me up after I had unwittingly drunkenly attempted to walk through a plate-glass mirrored window during my 40th birthday party.
It was a full moon that night too.
On reflection, I think he was right.
