Description

HDR luminosity blend of the corona at the moment of diamond ring during 2017 solar eclipse. Location: Casper Wyoming.

This was my first total eclipse so I was intent on watching it, and I simply filmed it using my Canon 6D and Televue 101. Afterwards I remembered I'd opened the aperture during totality, creating a range of exposures in the film clip. So I rastorized the clip, stacked the 1700 JPEG images into 18 groups, and then blended these using luminosity masks. The result lost some quality because I worked with JPEGs throughout. But I'm still happy with the learnings and the outcome.

One day I'll go back and convert the rastorized JPEGs to TIFFS and try this process again. But I'll need a long weekend to do it...
