That Sperling's Eight Second Law is a good read, thanks for that! I think my only photography, at most, will be 10 min video capturing before / during / after just to document that I was there. So I don't have to pay attention to the camera, but it will record. Heading to Nashville, TN. Not sure yet where to stage. My biggest concern is light pollution from photovoltaic streetlights or businesses going on automatically. wxeyeNH... any other tips to maximize the experience? Urban rooftop vs. open field? Video vs. still shots (of surroundings, again, I don't think my own photos of the eclipse will be worthwhile)? Anything else you would recommend? Thanks for sharing!

Hey guys, I'm Nashville TN bound, bought tix weeks ago worried they would sell out. If I had my choice, I'd go to Idaho or Wyoming for best chances of clear sky and scenery. Will make an audible on where to set base in Nashville area. The good thing is even if traffic / infrastructure is totally shut down, anywhere in Nashville including airport will be in totality.

Booked to Nashville. Staying in a motel just east of the city (~ 2 min totality), and figure I'll either see it from the motel (if traffic is horrendous) or drive several hours before and wait north of the city (~2:40 totality). Potentially once-in-a-lifetime bucket list item. And when will this happen again in such easy travel... 1:30pm in the afternoon... in August... Jerry I'm happy to hear you're doing this. Hope we get clear skies. People describe this as pretty divine. Anyone have tips on how to experience it? I'm thinking tips like positioning away from street-lights that might go on automatically. What to capture? Photos? Movie of the entire thing?

wow... that video is a keeper! great stuff! makes you realize how painfully Boston metro got shafted in that storm... the intro act to an absurdly bad winter.
