Solar Eclipse: photo time!

I said I'd share eclipse photos and then got bogged down in a cycle of 'I should do a write-up to go with this' -> 'I do not have the energy to do a write-up' so uhhhh posting these sans write-up, heh. Taken using a Canon 70-300 at max zoom, on my Rebel T7i. I wrote some automation to control it via a RPi3 and my phone, so I got shots once a minute during the partial phases, and then six different exposures in a row every five seconds during totality (and in retrospect I should've dropped the delay entirely but eh). Some Lightroom tweaks to bring out contrast etc, though the sequence image is a composite.

And one my dad took on his iPhone, which I think is a really neat shot of the whole view!
