I thought for sure the total eclipse would be photogenic, like the environment, not just the sun.

It wasn't because the light dims but the white balance doesn't change, so everything just looks badly exposed.

In re totality, I wasn't set up to do a panorama, otherwise it just looks like dusk (it's just all around you). You also only have two minutes.

So if you're wondering why there aren't many pics of the environment during an eclipse, now you know.
