There is a visceral sense of joy and healing that comes with African singing and dancing. When I’m in Kenya and people begin to dance, I can’t help but join in. My feet tap, my head and shoulders bob to the music. I sing along even when I don’t know the language. It is contagious! It is joyful...

Today's Eclipse April 8 2024

I took a series of shots starting right after the eclipse started in Connecticut, every 15 minutes, until the end.

In MANUAL mode a camera can't adjust to the available light like our eyes can. A camera has less dynamic range. In AUTO mode it would have adjusted the shutter speed or aperture to keep the light constant.

Our eyes adjust, kind of like opening up the aperture or increasing the ISO. So it wasn't nearly as dark as the camera "thought" it was.

As you can see, the camera couldn't handle the lack of light from our 90% eclipse.

Sorry if my "science" is not exactly right.
