I can't wait to get on the road to shoot the Great American Eclipse! Crowds are expected to be record-breaking along the path of the solar eclipse coming up August 21. Many areas are trying to implement customer traffic control plans in the narrow path of the moon's shadow.
I hear that even porta-potty rentals are in short supply as communities try to cope with the expected crowds. Fortunately I'll be bringing my own facilities with me!
Thank you +Capital Ford for getting the +Ford Motor Company-remanufactured engine in ASAP so we can stake our claim to a great shooting location!
I'm working on my landscape photography and night photography workshop schedule for 2018. Drop by my Web site in the coming weeks to see the schedule as it develops! www.JeffSullivanPhotography.com

Where ya headed? I'm lucky as it will be passing right over Charleston so I won't even have to leave home! :-)
Have a wonderful, safe trip +Jeff Sullivan. Are you heading to Oregon?
+Donna McClure I love Oregon, lived in Portland for three years, but this time I'm going to Wyoming.
+John Getchel I'm hoping to shoot within sight of the Tetons if my Ford is repaired in time! I authorized service on June 29 and the remanufactured long block has been in the shop for a week or two, so no doubt they'll have it done shortly!
Good luck!! Where will you be viewing the eclipse? I'm lucky, it's coming right over my head in Kansas City.
+Amit Rathod I don't have access to the vehicle at the moment, but the manufacturer's Web site should have floor plans and photos: https://www.bigfootrv.com/
+Margaret Tompkins Somewhere near Grand Teton National Park.
+Jeff Sullivan Awesome!! I'll look forward to your photographs!!
Happy Birthday!!
I can't wait to see your shots, I'm sure they will be great.
I'm winging it. I took at PTO day on Monday and plan on heading north on Sunday. I have no location definitive or lodging as my plan was to see what the weather forecasts were and adjust some (if it even matters) based on that. I will have my truck and Eno, so I can sleep pretty much anywhere in my truck or preferably hang my Eno. Hopefully I can avoid some crowds by heading out on Sunday. I may end up wishing I planned something more definitive, but either way I'm mostly interested in just experiencing it over getting some amazing photos of it. I did order a solar filter for my camera, but mostly want it be in the 100% path for the experience. I plan on have both bodies so I can do a wide timelapse as well as some closer shots.
Hey +David R Robinson I'm not sure being in the low country will be best for observing and shooting. I'm thinking being in the mountains with a 360 view might be better. If you're game perhaps I can join you in the mountains. But Like you I have no plans for a specific location.
