We traveled to northwestern South Carolina to visit family and view the 2017 Total Solar Eclipse – and were totally impressed! We launched a boat onto Lake Keowee so we could view the partial eclipse and, if needed, relocate to avoid any late-arriving clouds that might obscure our view of the total eclipse. Darkness arrived suddenly as the moon crept into place, lasting a bit longer than two minutes. At this point we experienced a 360-degree sunset.
Although I made no specific plans to do serious photography, I found my Nikon D500 with 300mm telephoto was capable of capturing decent shots of the eclipse, hand-held. Looking forward to the 2024 eclipse in New Hampshire!

Great shot, David. Hope your parents got a good viewing from Kiawah.(I am friends with them, in case you are wondering!)
