They say your photography should capture more than what you saw, but how you felt in that moment. Embarking on a thousand-mile road trip to Grand Tower, Illinois, a small town on the banks of the great Mississippi River. Nervous and excited to make the most of the event, I set up my tripod and put on the solar filter just before first contact. The moon covering more and more of the sun while I fired away on the shutter release. The air became cooler, the sky grew darker, and then… majesty. Over two minutes of wonder; a 360 degree sunset and the most awe-inspiring sight ever to behold.
