Details:
Last week I was in Spain, in order to observe my 5th Total Solar Eclipse. Thankfully, it was a resounding success, the weather was on our side! Sunset eclipses are risky, but also very rewarding if successful, as the view of the eclipsing sun near horizon is magical 😊 I shot only using a single camera (which is a first for me, it was always at least two cameras, haha), wide angle and fully automated (using Solar Eclipse Workbench application, to which I was heavily contributing the weeks before the eclipse).
For this composite I chose to show Diamond Rings, shot before C2 and after C3. They nicely overlapped, making them look like wedding rings!

Sony A7R IIIA (ISO400, 5 frames 3EV bracketing from 1/2000 to 2s for the Diamond Rings shots; partials shot with variable exposures depending on the Sun's elevation, starting with 1/2000s)
