  1. Nothing like coming back to the thread, getting excited about the # of new comments, only to find out its real estate related...
  2. Can i have a link to this? Family in area and want to make sure they are fully scared and prepared
  3. What an incredible experience. Lifetime highlight. I did screw up my timelapse though, so that was ruined, but i will never forget looking through binoculars during totality. Truly awe inspiring.
  4. about 100 miles northeast of Syracuse and 30 miles southwest of lake placid
  5. alright, Long Lake here I come. Cayuga Lake is just too cloudy. Kinda stinks, i put a lot of work into scouting Cayuga and feel like I am winging this a bit now. I can't leave till kids are off to school tomorrow either, so if traffic is bad I will be in a bit of trouble time-wise
  6. 80% sure I am bailing on the Finger Lakes and heading to the Adirondacks.
  7. Hang in there, not easy Eclipse wise is in max totality or bust for you? Or are you fine with 2 min. Asking because a midnight leave is difficult, you must be searching prime time real estate with near 4 minute totality I'm hoping for 2+ without many people. Tough to find day of, but going for it.
  8. Tough game time decision between a partly sunny forecast for where we plan to go vs a fully sunny forecast somewhere else.
  9. that great 600mm telephoto will be fun
  10. ARe you shooting w/ full frame and are you trying to get the sun with a telephoto or something wide? i've never shot an eclipse or the sun, and have lost my mind trying to read up on the best settings. And of course this week it's cloudy and rainy so i can't even practice. I want a wide angle timelapse. So will start with the solar filter on (16 stops) and then take it off and adjust the shutter speed quickly. But I am sure i am going to screw it up.
  11. I can't leave until 7.30 am for personal reasons, really hampering my options. I am thinking somwhere in the eastern fingerlakes - auburn or skaneateles. Not the best totality duration, but better than no totality for sure
  12. It's there but faint, let me try to improve a bit
  13. Visitation Projections. Eclipse tourism visitation projections — Great American Eclipse I overlaid the NY map with an actual one
  14. 1994 was also annular, so this year is very unique and rare for the area, can't wait!
  15. This is the last Total Eclipse within 4-5 hours of NJ that i will be alive for, so definitely making a trip north to see this. I don't think i will try any telephoto shots, rather focus on some wider angle landscapes, maybe a quick timelapse. Biggest issue is finding a location day of the checks the boxes for a good photos. Google Earth can only do so much.
  16. You argument is that the word "strong" is better than a + sign. There is no difference, both convey a hurricane with winds higher than the cat 5 minimum standard
  17. stormguy - not sure you are qualified to say anything more than meteorology is amongst the most competitive fields to try and make a living in. Seems like you will only be satisfied if people say it is "the most", period. You made your point, time to move on.
