Was in south Ontario, the sky was clear for about an hour before totality, and then about 15 minutes before, a big dark cloud came in and ruined it.

    Buddy used his eclipse glasses to capture this

    If he had used his eclipse glasses, you would see nothing. Eclipse glasses are for the lead up to full totality. Once totality hits, you take them off, as well as any camera filters you might be using. The light from the fully blocked sun is too dim to see through solar filters.

      I thought as much but all of my pictures were drastically brighter and I couldn’t replicate what he did. We have essentially the same phone so I assumed the glasses played a role in how dark it was
