Today was awesome! Got some shots of the eclipse and an otter! :)

Today was seriously one of the coolest days. :)

I woke up early to go out and be ready to film the eclipse.
Didn't really know what to expect.
Got down to the creek and heard a splash and saw a couple otters swimming about!
That made my day.. I'm not sure I had ever seen otters outside of the water before..
And.. Otters are in the same species/family as ferrets which are pretty much my favorite animal, or one of my favorites..
So.. It was kind of like getting to see my spirit animal. :) It filled my spirit with happiness watching them move and jump around.
I got a lil bit of footage of the otters, it's not that good.. But.. I got something! Better than nothing. :)

Also got some really neat eclipse footage, lucked out cause a cloud floated into place right in time or else it would have been too bright to film!
It ended up being perfect though, it kind of darkened it so I could see the eclipse normally with my eyes, I didn't even need the glasses or whatever most people use.

The first 3 shots are completely untouched raw straight from the camera, and the next 3 after that are the same images but just with a single levels put on them to make the images look less washed out.

Now here's the same images with just a levels on each of them.

I'm pretty happy with what I got. :) These are screencaps pulled from video as well, so I have this in motion too! ._.

Wow, awesome pictures and thanks for sharing them.

You're welcome for sharing! Thanks for appreciating! :)

Great shots of the eclipse! Otters are cute animals. What stops you from having one as a pet?

Thanks! And yeah they are! Super cute. :) And.. I dunno if they're legal to own as pets around here or not.. But.. I myself do not believe in owning pets anymore. Unless they are like a rescue animal or were injured or hurt or something and need help.

Amazing pictures Dear but the real eclipse is the eclipse of the Bitcoin.

Thanks for appreciating the images! And heh. Good one!

I was very happy I got to capture shots before it passed , wasn't a big big deal but small things make me happy

good ones!

Thanks! ._.

nice shot brrrrraaaaaaaah

Thanks! Haha. -_-;

You got some nice eclipse pictures there man! I tried but it was way too bright here.

Thanks grizzman! Bummer it was too bright there.. And yeah.. I think we really lucked out with that cloud! It was too bright before and after but that cloud saved the day for me! Thanks cloud! :)

Great post, I like seeing how other people experienced this. I was in the Lincoln, Nebraska area but the clouds prevented us from seeing it during totality, that was a bit disappointing. We did have good views before & after totality & had it occurred just an hour or so later, the clouds cleared out by then.

Really amazing shots, you have witnessed a great incident in the human history. I was not that lucky enough. And buddy what about the movie cover I have made for you, I have not received my payment yet.

Thanks..
I already told you that I'm not using the movie cover you made because you don't own the rights to it.

I'm super busy though, when I get some time I still plan on giving you a little bit of steem for your effort because I'm nice, but I really don't owe you anything. I could have got in trouble for using your image since you don't even own the rights to it and you're trying to sell it/make money off of it when you don't even own the rights..

I would suggest in the future you be more clear with people you work with, you could get them in trouble by selling them work that you don't own and you don't have the right to sell.

Ok buddy.
