well, it's one of the highest contrast things you can ever shoot as a photographer. the dynamic range between the light and eclipsed portions is ridiculous (like 15 stops), so trying to capture high detail with proper exposure is quite a challenge.
E.g., the totality is like a 30 second exposure, whereas the bright side is like 1/500th of a second
Then, it's also a moving object, so the blur at 30 seconds becomes a problem, since the moon is moving too fast. You can either stack many images at high noise to get the detail, or use a star tracker to counter the rotation of the earth
It's also taking place over like 4-5 hours, and you're continuously updating your exposures
So it's just one of the most difficult things i can think of to shoot, but also so magical to capture 0 reply
