Scuddy Spotted Sun

2024-04-29 By Roger Edwards

Scuddy Spotted Sun

Until about ten minutes before totality, seeing the total phase of the 2024 solar eclipse in Dallas was no sure thing, thanks to persistent low clouds that were slowly breaking up, but still littering the sky to a disturbingly dense degree.  Nonetheless, one of my favorite non-totality scenes involved thin chunks of fractocumulus scud passing before the solar disk.  Seen and photographed with solar filters, the scene became spooky, especially when sunspots (slightly above middle, and at left middle of the solar disc) were still visible. I haven’t seen the partially eclipsed sun photographed this way much, and it rendered a pleasing perspective.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
