Second post on the eclipse, this time a composite including frames from the partial eclipse visible before/after totality. I traveled all the way to Newport Vermont to see this! Absolutely amazing experience, and I'm so happy with how my pictures came out.
I was actually using BackyardEOS to capture my images so that I didn't have to worry about my camera while totality was happening and could just enjoy the moment with my eyes... unfortunately about ~2 minutes in, I realized I loaded the wrong imaging profile (I haven't used BackyardEOS in years ever since I moved to ASIAir). I was able to quickly set it up to use the correct profile, and thankfully, I got all of the exposures I was hoping for, so it all worked out! Glad I went as far into totality as I did so that I had that extra time to work with...
The center totality is an HDR, and the partial eclipse phases are single frames.
