The 2024 Eclipse, shot from Rowlett, Texas

The Sky

I shot this at the house I grew up in, in Rowlett, Texas, just a few miles east of Dallas. 🤠

The 2024 Eclipse, Shot From Texas

I had a DJI mini 4 pro up in the air behind me, shooting the horizon for a 15 minute hyperlapse, and then I shot stills on a Canon EOS with a RF 100-500 lens.

I shot mostly at f11 with the shutter as fast as it would go. I kept it at ISO 100 for as long as I could get away with it, then switched to auto ISO— knowing I could clean up the noise in Lightroom later with their new AI Denoise feature.

As always, I edit in Adobe Premiere Pro.

The song is a version of “I Put a Spell On You” that I produced and recorded years ago with Liz Mikel on vocals and me performing all other instrumentation.
