My wife started taking pictures of the Solar Eclipse but she said it was too bright, so I went and took apart my welding mask shield and put it in front of her camera. they came out pretty cool      |

Way cool! I looked, but saw nothing. It was a completely cloudy sky all morning, day and night. Thanks for sharing. |

I really wish I hadn't just sold my welding helmet and lenses...  Those are some great photos. Even though I couldn't see it directly, the ambient lighting it produced was just plain erie. |

Me and my dad checked a bit before 8, I think. It was just super bright, we checked another time, and clouds were blocking it...scumbag clouds.  |

My wife's picture made the local news last night, she was pretty jazzed. I copied this off our loacal news Fleischmann Planetarium of Reno Nevada reported that it sold 17,000 of the Eclipse-viewing glasses at $2 each last week, and had to order 10,000 more.  |

I woke up from a nap about 6:30 pst, and thought something was wrong. It was strangely dark outside, but still plenty of daylight left. Very weird, apocalyptic feeling until I remembered about the eclipse Can't wait to see more pics! |

BTW, you need #14 welding lenses to safely look at the sun. Anything less and you are doing damage to your eyes. #14 are very uncommon because nobody welds with anything that dark. You can make up #14 with a combination of lenses since welding supplies don't usually stock them. |

Wow, she took some awesome pics! Tell her thanks from the dummy who forgot all about the eclipse, and woke up right in the middle of it! LOL |

we had a heck of a sunset because of it. That first pic reminds me of the cover for the movie "The Ring" |
