Total Eclipse near Lake Placid NY

20. Wow your camera captured the solar flares quite vividly

Watched the whole thing in the comfort of our backyard since we're in the direct path. It was hit or miss for me given i had to wear the eclipse glasses yet hold up my fone which i could not see to shoot the pix but i got good ones too, surprisingly. It was cloudy where we were & the clouds actually made it look kinda spooky & very cool at the same time. I couldn't grasp how dark it got.
