+On April 8, the earth experienced a [total solar eclipse][nasa] tracking over
+North America. I was so excited to be able to travel to the path of totality and
+observe the eclipse with my friend and fellow space nerd, [Breanna
+Carzoo][breanna].
+
+My setup for all my eclipse photos was a [Fujifilm X-T5][xt5], with a [Canon EF
+100mm Macro][lens] lens. I used a [Fringer EF-XT converter][converter] to mount
+the EF lens on the X-T5. Of course I also had a solar filter.
+
+Here's one of my first test images. You can see a sun spot!
+
+{{< figures/image name=sol >}}
+
+During totality, when the moon fully covers the disc of the sun, a phenomenon
+known as the "Ring of Fire" occurse. The sky is dark and most of the Sun's light
+is hidden. In this state, it's possible to see the Sun's corona.
+
+{{< figures/image name=ringoffire >}}
+
+Just before and after totality is the "Diamond Ring" phase, when the last bit of
+light from the Sun's disc shines through the craters and valleys of the moon's
+surface.
+
+{{< figures/image name=diamondring >}}
+
+Austin, TX was pretty cloudy that day. I'm grateful we were able to see as much
+of the eclipse as we did. The clouds made for some awesome effects too. I'm
+particularly proud of my Diamond Ring image (above) with the additional drama
+the clouds brought to an already stunning event.
+
+I'm also grateful to Breanna for hosting me. We had a great time visiting, and I
+enjoyed getting to explore Austin with her.
