Keeping on Track731 viewsSince my setup was all-manual, with no motor drive or Go-To electronics, I had to continually adjust the mount to keep the Sun's image in the camera viewfinder. Kaya Side Hotel near totality729 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. The Beach at Totality720 viewsLooking out over the Mediterranean. Again, without a tripod Sandie's camera was subject to shaking, hence the blurred picture. Kaya-Blooey719 viewsChuck gets a generous helping of shrapnel from the bombe. The Crowning Touch718 viewsThe towel folded in the shape of a swan, with rose petals sprinkled over it, was unlike anything I've seen before or since, and it was just one of the many features that put the Kaya Side in a class by itself. Optical Delusion718 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. Eclipse Projections715 viewsSomeone laid out a sheet on the pavement, with the aim of projecting onto it a sharp and well-defined image of the shadow of the Moon crossing the Sun. You, Andrew Marvell712 viewsAnd strange at Ecbatan the trees Take leaf by leaf the evening strange... Jim Windlinger's Setup709 viewsJim Windlinger brought a superb array of equipment to the 2006 eclipse - a Borg telescope, all-automated mount and guiding apparatus, digital camera. But it was the Nazar Boncuk hanging from the counterweight shaft that really guaranteed the success of his endeavor. Botanical Optics708 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 foliaige Kaya Side Hotel at Sunset705 viewsThe central section of the hotel, with the dining area where we were about to enjoy our evening feast, as seen from our room in one of the wings of this enormous hotel. 47 files on 4 page(s) 1 2 3 4 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 614b9ea87be3b2b91f698606eb45504c [am] => 1 [liv] => Array ( [0] => 591 ) ) ========================== 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] (0.16 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.1 ms) [2] => SELECT user_id, time FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE session_id = '26d16d5489f66280fd2404aad0a16a89' [bridge/coppermine.inc.php:241] (0.07 ms) [3] => 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] (0.1 ms) [4] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.07 ms) [5] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.05 ms) [6] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.06 ms) [7] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.09 ms) [8] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2026-10-30 21:32:23' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.3 ms) [9] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.217.148' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.38 ms) [10] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.05 ms) [11] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 29 [thumbnails.php:136] (0.07 ms) [12] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 14 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.05 ms) [13] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (r.aid = 29) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' AND hits > 0 [include/functions.inc.php:1717] (0.82 ms) [14] => 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 (r.aid = 29) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' AND hits > 0 ORDER BY hits ASC, pid DESC LIMIT 11 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1734] (1.34 ms) [15] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.12 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => topn [cat] => -29 [page] => 3 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [a520716e4e1a802c3b699f97dd5ac36c] => fa158f0dcb398d6215d362a47ca9108c [cpg16x_data] => YTozOntzOjI6IklEIjtzOjMyOiI2MTRiOWVhODdiZTNiMmI5MWY2OTg2MDZlYjQ1NTA0YyI7czoyOiJhbSI7aToxO3M6MzoibGl2IjthOjE6e2k6MDtzOjM6IjU5MSI7fX0= ) ==========================
