This first photo is from my wife where she was able to get the eclipse as a reflection in sunglasses.

This is via an Iphone through some cheap viewing glasses.

This is from a relative of mine with really good glasses in Arkansas where it did a full eclipse.

One of my coworkers tried seeing the eclipse by poking a hole through some cardboard and letting the sun shine through onto paper. It only kind of worked because the hole was not perfectly symmetrical lol.

All the office drones were out in the sunny spots trying to get a look at the eclipse too.

A street vendor could have made some big money selling eclipse themed treats to crowds like this.

The buildings were all in a strange gloomy shade and the eclipse arc kind of reflected off the sides.

I aimed my phone right at the sun and the lens flair showed the arc of the eclipse.

That's all for now, time to get back in the office and work. Eclipse is over now its time to hit the deadlines again.

It cast a strange light on everything. It was funny seeing all the sunspot areas in downtown filled with people.

lol that dude at the front of that picture taking a selfie could be a model for some of your animations
We shut down and headed for totality like we did last time in 2017. I highly recommend it at least once in your life. The progression and photos through the glasses are just like what you saw but when totality hits and the glasses come off its magical. Otherworldly.

Office drones taking selfies would be a good concept for another animation. I guess the next eclipse is in Egypt, that would probably be epically packed with tourists and people waiting for the ancient gods to open up a portal above the great pyramid.
