While visiting my brother in Atlanta this weekend, we did a quick jaunt over to South Carolina to get into the path of the eclipse. I captured the first two on my SLR:

I've compressed those slightly to fit on the standard screen resolution. Let me know if you're interested in the uncompressed shots. Interestingly enough, I also set my iPhone up to see if it could capture the eclipse as well:

Great pictures! It must have been some filter on your camera - or maybe a welding visor?

I made my own filter out of cardboard and solar film, but you actually don't need it (or eclipse glasses) during totality.

Ugh, and to think I work for that genius...

No, I was a good little doobie and bought eclipse glasses 8 months ago.
