Eclipsosaurus Rex - 2017 Total Solar Eclipse
While searching for an eclipse viewing location, I discovered this wonderful statue of Tyranosaurus Rex in front of the Tate Geological Museum on the Campus of Casper College. Determining the position of the Sun during totality, I chose a compelling composition that would include the T-Rex and the eclipsed Sun. Early on eclipse morning, I positioned my camera and set a remote timer to shoot a series of exposures during totality.
