The Bullfight

0.0 x 0.0

This is an actual solar eclipse (annular, not total). Solar eclipses are not super rare, they occur fairly regularly about once a year or so. Solar eclipses that appear near ground level in a place that is not hard to reach or patently inhospitable, VERY RARE. This was essentially a once or twice in a life time event. So I made plans to shoot it my way, anticipating this event for 4 years to have about 4 minutes of shooting time. The adversities encountered along the way were absurd, including having 7 models I lined up for this all quit the day before. The woman in this shot was a stranger also in town to shoot the eclipse who graciously agreed to model for me to whom I remain ever grateful.
