39 Of The Best Shots Of The 2017 Solar Eclipse

Thanks for the legit image, they are rare coin these days. For the rest of you get on to shutter stock and start making some composites like the rest of the Instagram hookers.

very awesome pictures thanks for sharing

I was in Waterloo, SC. I saw you! I was wondering what view ya'll had.

What plane did you fly? How does a pilot get the view of the wing?

Amazing thanks for sharing!

Thank you for these beautiful pictures Ray. Two great skills combined to give us these amazing pictures!

Awe-inspiring!

Thanks because so many of these web eclipse photos are fakes.

Wonderful! Thank you.

As you are a pilot, perhaps you could stop spraying the planet with chemicals? Note the first photograph of geoengineering at work.

Agreed the close up are a little in doubt because you can't tell scale but most stock images of total eclipses are done like this to be inserted where needed but definite cons: #2 bollocks, #5 bollocks, #6 double-exposure bollocks #10 potential composite stolen from the actual photographer bollocks, can't %100 confirm but i've seen this exact image without the foreground (because zoomed in to this size you would not see this kind of foreground detail or comparitive size) from an entirely different photographer.

meh think the sun revolves around him and can't handle this kind of competition

I posted on my facebook an article that showed Trump actually looking up at the eclipse before donning his eclipse glasses! Not a very bright thing to do!

Trump walks in no one's shadow. At mar-a-lago the sun was shining as brightly as ever.

I was sure spell check would've caught half of your message

Why? Because you have no education and just accept anything you see on the internet as true? No, uneducated welfare cunt, he didn't stare. HE glanced. And lo and behold, he DIDN'T GO BLIND! Because he IS educated and knew that it would not hurt him to do so.

Why? Because you have no education and therefore just accept everything you see on the internet as true? He didn't stare. He GLANCED.. And guess what? HE DIDN'T GO BLIND! Again...because he IS educated and knows that all the fearmongering was just to prevent the uneducated welfare cunts like you FROM staring. HE knew that glancing was not going to do anything bad.

I got this beautiful shot there. IMG_1313-5...65-png.jpg

Julie...superimposing two photos onto each other and trying to pass them off as one, is FAKE..plain and simple. That is not edited. Using your insanely stupid logic, those photos of Oprah Winfrey's head on a skinny model's body is a real photo simply because it is pieces of actual photos? The last one especially is HILARIOUSLY fake.

Photoshopped has become a common term for digital photos that have been edited. These photos are being presented as actual, "raw unedited photos".

My point is: who said these were supposed to be raw unedited photos? It doesn't say this anywhere. All photos are edited (btw photoshop is only one of the tools you can use to edit photos, hence I find this general call of "photoshopped" irritating but that's another matter). Yes, some included here are composite and digital paintings. I agree that these are not unedited photos, and that many are "edited into oblivion" as Angie says. But a photo is only "fake" if the photographer/owner says that it is unedited when it actually is. I doubt most of the photos here are even added by their owner, and I doubt most of the photographers would say to your face "I have not edited this photo" so it's a big step to call those people liars.

Honey, these aren't edited, they're altered to oblivion. And the overwhelming majority of them are composites.

I'm really impressed people noticed the photo, not my spelling!
