just got in... thanks so much for Nita and Andy for my too brief stop over, a life saver!
I'll post more images later, and a story, but here is the eclipse at roughly 17:43:05
as seen from Redding, CA
a bit of cloud cover, but not so much to obscure too much (though I like the one Mike posted from Japan!)

I was born in Redding, a so-called "hub city" if you would believe the CofC.
How freaky symbolic.

Heres what it looked like in Joshua Tree. I totally forgot there was going to be one, then it started getting notably darker around 6:30, thats when I remembered hearing about an eclipse. Took a few blind photos of the sun and there it was! Shot f45 at 1/8000th, no filter

Wow, lots of amazing photos! I'm especially blown away by the glowing crescents formed by light filtering through tree leaves -- I would have never imagined that happening.

Marvin flies by...
And impacts the solar irradiance (spike at 1400 is a cloud, but notice how the slope changes around 1745 and eclipse peaks out around 1840)
Better eclipse in Reno:

This was the best I got from Santa Clarita, CA. I used every trick and filter I had...a 3 and 2 stop ND filters, a polarizing filter, shot at f40 and 1/4000 at iso100!
Solar:
And for the fun of it here's a lunar eclipse from last Nov:

From my backyard: pear tree + aspen + eclipse =
And here's a nice series from Tahoe's east shore, shamelessly nicked off Facebook from the very talented Grant Kaye:

here from Redding, still working on the composite this is a first draft
the blurring is due to the cloud cover, it's not so bad in the individual images but I have to work on the "blend" in Photoshop.
Used my 50mm x 2 x 1.4 = 140mm lens, equivalent to a 210mm lens on my dSLR
ND400 and Red(25A) filters
f5.6, 1/2000s exposure at ISO 100
and the Nikon MC-36 timer to trigger the camera every 2 minutes... (note that I covered the camera in between shots to prevent the shutter from overheating due to the sun image)
the times are taken from my GPS Waypoints I entered every exposure, and cross checked with the camera times.
