What do you guys think about eclipse photography? Im thinking about just driving to the coast where everyone is crowding and documenting the people and the traffic.

Wyoming DOT shut down the whole state to oversize loads for the eclipse. Every hotel has been booked in the whole god damn state for that day.

Hit me up I'm trying to grab potatoes from Twin Falls ID and that will likely take me down 80 through Wyoming
Pictures like OP are meh
Some landscape shots showing the context will be cool.
I'll probably avoid photo sites for a few days after it happens, because that's all there will be posts of.
When is it btw?

Luckily for me it is in the later part of the afternoon here in SC. Granted it will still be high in the sky, but with a wider lens should be able to swing it.
Truthfully though I will be glad when the eclipse is over with. Even though I am an astronomer I am so over the total hype over it. It is a shame when they dog something good so bad it becomes annoying.

Really quite boring.
There's not really anything interesting to see, is there?
I have a D7000 will my CCD sensor really get fucked up taking pictures or is it just a meme

Use a telephoto lens and you'll be fine.
>>3136176
Don't have one (except a multizoom).
>>3136180
That would work too.
