Details:
After the third camping night in Pisco Elqui, Chile (1 July 2019), I heard that there are two other Finns in the campsite. I met Tuomo and Lauri, who were on their first solar eclipse trip. They had no detailed plan of how and where to observe totality. Therefore, I explained having hiked all the nearby hills and discovered that the whole village would be left in the shadow of the mountains during the total phase on 2 July 2019 at 16:40 local time. To see the totality, the best option is to go through grapevine plantations on a hill with good visibility across the village. I also explained my shooting plans and while they fit Tuomo and Lauri, wow, I had two assistants!
On the eclipse day 2 July 2019, we headed to the hill and were not the only ones; there were hundreds of other people on the same hill at different heights.
So here's my composite image of the total solar eclipse. The image is combined with two exposure times (sky and terrain separately), otherwise it would not have been possible to capture Tuomo Koskinen (left) and Lauri Mutikainen (right) looking at the spectacular phenomenon that they will remember all their life (btw, I put the lamp behind them to have some light on the backside). Even after combining the pictures, the image has been little corrected by brightness and color. In any case, this is the picture that tells about the wonderful landscape and atmosphere at the same time.
Ah, another photo. Suddenly 4 minutes after totality the partial moon dropped into mountains ... giving us a new opportunity to see the "fake-half-moon-total phase". Not so bright as the original, but anyway there it was, the corona appeared again faintly.
