  1. 40 drownings last few days as folks try to beat the heat
  2. I asked AI for a realistic and true temperature graph for Chester County PA, covering the last 100 years
  3. this thread is like an Alexa vs Google Home conversation
  4. I'm riding the AI models for this weekend lol
  5. It all comes down to your budget. If it is 20K you can have the best of the best. If it is $500-$1,000 you can get a lot of great shots in bright light but struggle in the mornings and evenings. With any modern camera you can get fantastic shots. In my experience, the hit rate goes up the more you spend.
  6. just missed out on the good stuff. not boxing day bad, still a good storm, but nothing prolific. I am thinking around a foot with just my eyeballs and a night of drifting, so take it with a grain of salt
  7. Nothing like coming back to the thread, getting excited about the # of new comments, only to find out its real estate related...
  8. Can i have a link to this? Family in area and want to make sure they are fully scared and prepared
  9. What an incredible experience. Lifetime highlight. I did screw up my timelapse though, so that was ruined, but i will never forget looking through binoculars during totality. Truly awe inspiring.
  10. about 100 miles northeast of Syracuse and 30 miles southwest of lake placid
  11. alright, Long Lake here I come. Cayuga Lake is just too cloudy. Kinda stinks, i put a lot of work into scouting Cayuga and feel like I am winging this a bit now. I can't leave till kids are off to school tomorrow either, so if traffic is bad I will be in a bit of trouble time-wise
  12. 80% sure I am bailing on the Finger Lakes and heading to the Adirondacks.
  13. Hang in there, not easy Eclipse wise is in max totality or bust for you? Or are you fine with 2 min. Asking because a midnight leave is difficult, you must be searching prime time real estate with near 4 minute totality I'm hoping for 2+ without many people. Tough to find day of, but going for it.
  14. Tough game time decision between a partly sunny forecast for where we plan to go vs a fully sunny forecast somewhere else.
  15. that great 600mm telephoto will be fun
  16. ARe you shooting w/ full frame and are you trying to get the sun with a telephoto or something wide? i've never shot an eclipse or the sun, and have lost my mind trying to read up on the best settings. And of course this week it's cloudy and rainy so i can't even practice. I want a wide angle timelapse. So will start with the solar filter on (16 stops) and then take it off and adjust the shutter speed quickly. But I am sure i am going to screw it up.
  17. I can't leave until 7.30 am for personal reasons, really hampering my options. I am thinking somwhere in the eastern fingerlakes - auburn or skaneateles. Not the best totality duration, but better than no totality for sure
  18. It's there but faint, let me try to improve a bit
  19. Visitation Projections. Eclipse tourism visitation projections — Great American Eclipse I overlaid the NY map with an actual one
