2024 eclipse

2024 eclipse

Wanted to get the eclipse from start to finish on one negative, but that would have required placing the path exactly on the film's diagonal and I wasn't sure I had it right. Took the shot of entering totality about 1 sec too soon.

Thanks for the kind words. I am posting a second version of the negative because I realized today that I put the white point far too low. I placed it at the top of the histogram created by the preview scan, which translated all the mid-range highlights to full-on white. I haven't scanned any negatives like this that are 90+ percent black, and have such a small highlight area that they don't register in the histogram. The important (to me) change in the image is a more nuanced representation of totality.
