  2. Frank,

    Alas! I gather that that's not a complete URL. Can you add a link via HTML using angled brackets as the HTML tags? If not, here's a tutorial. (I bet you do know how, given all the blogging you've done.)

    If you copy and paste the other link into your browser it should have taken you to dropbox, but here ya go, this should work:

    Try this link and use the download button top right for the full-sized pic, if you right click the pic and choose download you get a smaller one

    If not, then just copy/paste the following:

  4. Frank,

    Amazing pic, prominence and all. Most impressive. Thanks.

    And here is a link to a slightly edited version which has a warmer look to it, but the first pic I linked to was what our eyes saw, and I like it better.

  6. Both pics are beautiful, but I agree that the first one is better. How on Earth did you manage that shot?

    Well, we had 2 1/2 minutes of totality where we live. I foolishly thought that said 2 1/2 minutes would be plenty of time to get pics, but nope. Not when you waste most of it gawking at one of the most spectacular sights you've ever seen. Had my wife not reminded me that I was going to take some pics, I would have totally missed out. Oh, and I used a 150-600mm lens, which brought everything up nice and close.
