Duckwing Photography: Lacy Duckwing's Photography Thread

[Lacy Duckwing]

Welcome to my photography thread! As anyone who has seen my watermark must know, my photographer name is Duckwing Photography. I will be posting most of my pictures watermarked to protect my photography. I am Autistic and I struggle with Dyslexia, which gives me a unique view in photography. (I call it a 'Photographer's Eye.') The majority of my photography is of my chickens and die-cast cars. I also take pictures of scenery, wildlife, flowers, and pets.
Feel free to follow this thread for when I post new photos and please enjoy.

And here is the best saved for last. I will start with my other camera first because I started photographing it with that camera before I realized it was safe to remove the filter from my other camera.

The last of these pictures were taken with my telescoping lens after I removed the filter.

This is probably my favorite picture that I captured:

If you zoom in on the right bottom of the moon, you can see this red (fire) from the sun:

And that is all the ones I'm looking to share. (I have lots more, but these were my favorites.) I did get to view some of this amazing event away from the camera (a lot of it was through the special glasses) and my favorite part of the whole eclipse wasn't photographed. It was the very moment the totality had begun, when the sun's light shone completely around the moon and the day went dark. A flock of crows took off in flight, which definitely added to the awesomeness (and strangeness) of this moment.

I hope you all enjoyed seeing these pictures. I enjoyed taking them and am still in awe of everything. This eclipse is definitely one of the most amazing moments in my life, and I wish I could go back in time to re-live it over and over. I highly appreciate those who gave me advice, encouraged me, and invited me to their home so we could view this eclipse.

As some may know, here in Maine, we had the solar eclipse's totality. I brought my telescoping lens to where we watched it, and there, my wonderful niece saved the day by pointing the way to a filter to protect my lens. (I did not have the appropriate filter before heading there, though I had brought my equipment anyway.) This is the first (and hopefully not last) solar eclipse I have photographed, so most of it was pretty new to me.

Because I took a lot of pictures, I'll be doing three different posts of the photos, so that nobody is overwhelmed by a long post. I will start here with pictures leading up to the totality.

The beginning of the eclipse:

Just before the moon covered the sunspot (not a dustspot!) that I was captured in a few of my pictures:

The moment before totality:

Here are some of my favorite pictures taken:

Owl the Easter Egger. This was a photo I had been trying to get for years. I've loved this position that she is in so much that it is in a lot of my drawings.

Midnight the Black Split-Lavender Orpington. I worked with her for about two hours to get this one picture. I had never taken a picture like this before and it boosted my confidence as a photographer.

Beatrix the Whiting True Blue. She is also in my favorite position. This picture was taken during 'Golden Hour' in the evening. Typically, I take my winter golden hour pictures in the morning, so this was a first.

This is the bloom on my Elephant Ear plant. It isn't my favorite plant, but after taken this picture, I have gotten a new appreciation for it.

This is a Hot Wheels Subaru WRX STI. I liked this picture so much, that I put it as my profile picture on my YouTube Channel, Santanders Studebaker, instead of a Studebaker like usual.

This picture is of a rare woodpecker known as the Black-Backed Woodpecker. I had never seen one before (or since), so it definitely caught my eye.

This is one of my cameras. I use a Canon EOS Rebel T5 and T7. This is one of them and was taken with my other.

(For those who may have noticed, my watermark has changed over time.)
