Eclipse 2017: dit zijn de 16 mooiste foto's!

Gisteren, 21 augustus, heeft er een bijzonder fenomeen plaatsgevonden: een totale zonsverduistering oftewel eclips. In Nederland was het alleen niet zo heel spannend, je had echt een retourtje Verenigde Staten moet boeken om het zelf te kunnen zien.

Gelukkig kwam NASA met een oplossing. De ruimteorganisatie heeft live verslag gedaan van het hele gebeuren. In de VS wacht men als sinds 1979 op een volledige zonsverduistering, en dus werden alle mogelijke middelen ingezet om dit bijzondere verschijnsel vast te leggen.

En dat resulteerde natuurlijk in een aantal geweldige shots. Wij hebben er een paar voor je op een rijtje gezet. Enjoy.

Photograph by @susanseubert // The "Great American Eclipse" today is visible within a band approximately 65 miles wide, across the entire contiguous United States. This image was made at approximately 10:18am PST today in McMinnville, Oregon. This particular phase of the eclipse is often called a "Diamond Ring" due to its resemblance to the sparkle of a ring. #solareclipse2017 #oregon Follow @susanseubert for more!

While millions experienced #Eclipse2017, only six people saw the umbra, or moon's shadow, over the United States from space today. #nasa #sun #eclipse #international #space #station #moon #solareclipse #solar

Behold! This progression of the partial solar eclipse took place over Ross Lake, in Northern Cascades National Park, Washington on Monday, Aug. 21, 2017. A total solar eclipse swept across the path of totality, a narrow portion of the contiguous United States from Lincoln Beach, Oregon, to Charleston, South Carolina. A partial solar eclipse was visible across the entire North American continent along with parts of South America, Africa, and Europe.

Photo @chrisburkard Without a doubt the most documented celestial event to ever take place. The solar eclipse's totality only lasted for minutes in the path that it occurred. Giving photographers a small window of time to capture something most of us will most likely never see again. At Smith Rock State Park in eastern Oregon.. a highliner @handsomerobinson steadily balances on thin webbing as he moves between rock formations. The human size gives scale to this otherworldly solar event. You can bet his attention was torn between walking the line and staring at the eclipse. . Many hands in the making to create a shot like this all in Camera. Thank You for the climbing, rigging, long nights & an even longer day @snackfarmer @russell_holliday @garrison_rowland

To the ends of the earth.... MASSIVE thanks to @thistommysmith @tedhesser and @martinatib for the preproduction on this shot and climbing expertise! Would have been absolutely impossible without them. This is a single photo, no photoshop.

As the sun rose over Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, thousands of people and their vehicles were jockeying for prime eclipse viewing positions. Hours later they were rewarded with a total eclipse of the sun. This image is a composite of two frames, the morning sunrise of the Tetons and a timed multiple exposure of today's eclipse.

Ring Of Fire • This was undoubtedly the most fantastic natural phenomenon I've had the honor of experiencing. So ominous. Watching the sun slowly get swallowed up by this dark mass. Looking forward to hopefully chasing more eclipses to the end of the world. Stay Adventurous Dear Friends!! . . . .

Watching this total solar eclipse was definitely one of the craziest things I've witnessed. This shot I captured is of the "Diamond Ring" before totality. . . . . . . . #pnw #pnwonderland #upperleftusa #oregon #thatpnwlife #pacificnorthwest #pnwcollective #pdx #seattle #portland #washington #northwestisbest #sunset #cascadiaexplored #oregonexplored #pnwlife #traveloregon #rei1440project #optoutside #solareclipse2017 #northwestcreatives #eclipse #bestoforegon #greatnorthcollective #photography #solareclipse #thenwadventure #northwest #totalsolareclipse #totality
