Diamond Ring (Miracle for SC91, H.A.N.W.E.)

Diamond Ring (Miracle for SC91, H.A.N.W.E.)
We had excellent weather in southern Missouri for the eclipse on 8 April, 2024.

Our previous experience was in 2017, and while the photos were wonderful, I never got a shot at the "diamond ring" effect that year.

This, and a few others, were taken at the end of totality this April.

The large flare at the very bottom of the disk was seen in a number of our photos.

Hand-held at 280mm equivalent zoom, and processed with GIMP. This was the same camera-lens I used in 2017 (nearly the same settings, too.)

Great shot! My camera was totally fooled by the light and since we only had a minute to view totality, I decided to watch, rather than fiddle with the settings. What settings did you use?

Thank you everyone for the kind words. Actually, I had taken the camera off of "automatic repeat", and just was pressing the shutter as fast as I could. There are a few other images (which I will post) showing a much stronger " diamond ring". The final image is quite strong, and within a split second, all I could see in the finder was full sun.
