Very nice, I like the toning in all these b&w's, and the first is very fitting for the series.
Does that ancient lens cover the entire sensor or did you have to crop a bit? Splendid result anyway!

From this week's eclipse. The Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge in Dallas beneath totality. After days and weeks of increasingly dismal weather predictions, patchy clouds partially obscured the C1-C2 cycle—making it more interesting, as Matt noted above—and then the sky broke clear though hazy shortly before totality. The dimming light tripped all the bridge and street lighting. it wasn't quite the image I had planned, but it was close. And it was spectacular in person.

... I agree with @jotloob - a first-class picture!
Something else that interests me @drunkenspyder,
did they actually illuminate the bridge during the solar eclipse,
or is that a double exposure?

Damn! That's awesome.
I'm also surprised by the size of the sun/moon. Did you crop a bunch? Here's the full frame of the 21mm shot on an X2D, and that's wider than a 32mm on the IQ4150, but not twice as wide. I boosted this 2.5 stops. I can get some sky if I boost by 5 stops, but then the sun/moon is a blown out blob.

Matt, yes I cropped and did some perspective correction as well (notice the horizon tilt below the bridge, a natural aspect of that location, only some of which can be corrected without unpleasingly skewing the. bridge). That had the effect of mildly enlarging and distorting the sun/moon disc. Which I corrected. My original plan based on TPE and PhotoPils calculations was to shoot the bridge composition much more abstractly with a Mamiya 300, but given the steep ascension, no amount of placement anywhere that gave us a bridge view could accommodate that lens. Either a 150 or 70 (maybe with some stitching), might have done the trick, but those got left behind when my shooting partner and I decided to travel strictly carry-on. [As it was, I felt fortunate to have the Sony plus bigger lenses, the Phase and 32/300, a couple of TCs, and two tripods and clothing for 4 days. ]Damn! That's awesome.

Uwe, thanks. The bridge and street lights illuminated automatically when ambient light fell during totality. It was very dramatic when it happened. Single exposure.

@Greg:
It's a really, really awesome picture, which would deserve an award, IMHO.

AFAIK, the Phase One 28mm f4,5 is the widest lens available for my DF. But sometimes, the widest is not wide enough, so I shot a pano stitch of 5 vertical images for this photo ...
ca 150° FOV

Ain’t that the truth!
cropped a tiny bit around the 4 corners, not a huge amount, these are in-camera jpgs set to acros-Red

In case you were wondering (you were wondering, weren't you?) where Soup has been, he was staying with my daughter while I was galavanting around upstate NY having my mind blown while a dragon ate the Sun.
Anyway, he's back, and you can see how happy he was to see me. All X2D, XCD 28P, which focuses very close.
"Who are you? Go away!"
"Ugh. I'm stuck with you."
"You do realize that this is mixed lighting and I'm going to look terrible, right?"
