Last additions Kaya Side Hotel near totality229 viewsThis is a slightly blurry view of the Kaya Side Hotel, as seen from the beachfront where we watched the eclipse, taken close to totality, when the light was getting low, the camera lens was wide open and the shutter speed too slow to deal with camera shake.Sep 04, 2019 Rube Goldberg Improvisation258 viewsChuck and Elouise concocted some cockamamie scheme to try to capture the onset of totality, while I looked on with bemused scepticism. Don't remember how well their crazy apparatus worked.Sep 04, 2019 You, Andrew Marvell227 viewsAnd strange at Ecbatan the trees Take leaf by leaf the evening strange...Sep 04, 2019 Halfway There206 viewsRick Gering and Jim Windlinger keep tabs on the progress of the eclipse by monitoring their equipment, while Mike Treder and Pat Bush check out the projections on the sheet.Sep 04, 2019 Closing in on Totality227 viewsThe binocular projections show us that the Sun is now about 2/3 covered by the Moon.Sep 04, 2019 Weather Readiness263 viewsElouise came prepared for extreme winter weather, up to and including Arctic blasts, while Chuck was all set for a balmy day at the beach.Sep 04, 2019 Ready to Shoot the Eclipse190 viewsMy equipment: a TeleVue Pronto 70mm refractor on a TelePod mount; a Baader mylar white-light filter, and an Olympus OM-1 film camera. In the background, just behind my back, Marvin Blaski is relaxing and enjoying the spectacle.Sep 04, 2019 Botanical Optics257 viewsSomeone cleverly hid a napkin or cloth square in the bushes to capture the little crescents produced by the moon-shaped sunlight being filtered through the foliaigeSep 04, 2019 Binocular Projection, continued234 viewsThe Moon has now covered up about half the Sun's disk.Sep 04, 2019 Optical Delusion275 viewsAt first glance it appears that Michelle is using some weird kind of periscope here to shoot the eclipse. On closer inspection, it's just a regular camera shot against the background of a black pole sticking up out of the sand in back. Meanwhile, it appears as if Chuck Mattox is trying to stamp on some noxious insect about to pounce on the girl in front.Sep 04, 2019 Chasing Shadows239 viewsThe Moon is making progress in its task of covering up the Sun, which is now about 35% obscured.Sep 04, 2019 A Rapt Audience278 viewsOur tour group, along with other Kaya Side guests, gathers for the onset of the spectacle.Sep 04, 2019 1722 files on 144 page(s) 1 - 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 - 144 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => f1916d9f2964a88af4adde1678d2ff24 [am] => 1 ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (0.43 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.23 ms) [2] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (0.22 ms) [3] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.14 ms) [4] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.15 ms) [5] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.12 ms) [6] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.14 ms) [7] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2025-10-12 20:17:42' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.68 ms) [8] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.211' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.45 ms) [9] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.15 ms) [10] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (1) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1614] (0.99 ms) [11] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (1) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' ORDER BY ctime ASC, pid ASC LIMIT 534 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1630] (63.91 ms) [12] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.8 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => lastup [cat] => 0 [page] => 99 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( ) ==========================
