Description
The 2017 solar eclipse created beautiful, unusual shadows in my yard in Tallahassee, Florida, where we had about 80% eclipse of the sun by the moon at the peak of the astronomical event.
This image captures the shadows resulting from eclipsed sunlight passing through vegetation, on the perimeter of the image, and a spider web and branches, in the center.
There is a second layer of shadows which created the large white crescents visible particularly on the right side of the image. The crescents are images of the sun itself, partially obscured by the moon, projected below when openings in tree vegetation acted as pinhole cameras or pinhole projectors.
This image captures shadows cast on a piece of stretched canvas placed beneath the spider web and several layers of vegetation. The image has been lightly edited, mostly for sharpening and contrast, and colorized in a palette of greens including olive, chartreuse, and deep hunter green.
