Annular Eclipse From Monument Valley

A photo composite of multiple exposures. From the photographer: “The foreground picture is taken just right after the sunrise. The diffraction of the sunlight at wall of the Sentinel Mesa created a sun burst as the Sun started to rise above the horizon. I kept this as a foreground image because it gives an idea where the Sun started its day today. The annularity is captured in the clean blue sky in the middle of the beautiful Monument Valley and its monuments and mesas. It was a beautiful time enjoying the eclipse in the serene company of my wife Sudakshina Chakrabarty and other eclipse enthusiasts. A large part behind planning the foreground image goes to my wife!

It was an amazing experience to observe the Ring of Fire at the maximum annularity at the serene landscape of the Monument Valley, UT. The Ring of Fire is shown in this image , in the middle of the sequence. Equipment used: Sony A7SII , 17-24mm lens.”
