The photo consists of 180 frames and represents last 30 seconds before the eclipse and the first 30 seconds after its completion. The so-called Bailey's beads then cause a very special kind of shadows. That's when the last beams of sunlight fall through the valleys between individual craters at the edge of the moon's surface. Such dynamics can only be captured with a high-resolution video recording. It is then divided into individual frames, which must be sorted in the reverse order of how they followed each other in real time. Richfield, Utah, Oct. 14. 2023.
