Totality on May 20, 2012 - IMG_9410

My wife and I made it out to Lake Tahoe to witness the recent total eclipse of the sun. With this shot, I again used my sheet of mylar to get a well defined outline of the total eclipse. But I wanted to give the scene a sense of surrealism and add a little of my own artistic interpretation. Since my mylar prevented me from capturing any real color, I boosted my exposure almost all the way up in post processing. Hence, what you are seeing as a red flare of the sun is actually noise.
