Details:
Here are the first images of the total solar eclipse of August 12, captured in the Castilian countryside, northwest of Palencia, from the garden of a medieval hermitage.
1 minute and 42 seconds in the Moon’s shadow, during which some of the most spectacular phenomena of a total eclipse unfolded
The image I consider the most distinctive is a high-contrast HDR view of the solar corona. It combines exposures ranging from the bright inner corona to the much fainter outer structures, while also revealing earthshine on the Moon. The very low solar altitude made recovering both the extended corona and the subtle earthshine especially difficult, while the resulting geometry gives the image a rather unusual appearance of the surrounding sky, compared with eclipse photographs taken higher in the sky, shifting from blue to orange.
The accompanying images show other brief phases of the eclipse, including the diamond ring, the chromosphere and prominences, and Baily’s beads.
