RIP WALLY, you'll be in my mind during totality this years total eclipse, we miss you.

So sad he didn’t get to see it

[@weldonderamus6736]

If he was still alive he would have captured this one!

What happened to Wally?!

Just WOW man. I am so incredibly jealous of you.

[@AlynWallace]

Inspired by you* is the word you're looking for :) Thanks pal

[@williemacdonald72]

@@AlynWallace aye that'll be it.

[@KaiKre]

What an experience alyn. I am so glad that you share this with us. Looks like you had a lot of fun out there. :)

[@adrianabociat3732]

⭐ He left to meet the eclipse at her home. 🕯🕊 May his path be full of light and peace! 🙏

[@eclecticjon1019]

Excellent video! I witnessed the eclipse in Cornwall in 1999. Even though it was cloudy, it was an emotional moment to live. Fantastic.

[@deanhoadley4673]

I was in cornwall as a child for that, on a garage with a pair of the solar sunglasses, super excited. Cloud. I remember seeing on the TV people doing sun dances at Stonehenge 😂

[@brandigonwa7848]

wow I did the same crazy shit. it was stressful, we had to get in the car and move location miles down the road due to clouds. ended up in a historic cemetery in south Carolina few flew in just hours before total crazy . but I got the whole thing. with out time lapse, and the night insects and the birds, the indigo sky ways so strange.. can't wait to see the next one.

[@hybryd83]

Just 5 days after the eclipse, thank you Alyn for sharing with us so quickly!

[@MadsPeterIversen]

That selfie is boss! I have yet to experience a totality! Beautiful! I tried hovering the mouse over the timeline and moving it back and forward, at the totality part you can see how the shadow moves over the sky in the preview :D

[@AlynWallace]

Ah man make sure you do it as soon as you can, there's nothing like it. I was going to add a sped up version of that clip so you can see the shadow sweep across but forgot in my rush to release it asap, doh! Thanks man hope you're good

[@carlosgomez2]

hahaha! well done man, it just be amazing, you really makes me feel i was there with you running from a camera to another. really fun to watch. nice video and editing. congrats.

[@starman1969]

Absolutely insane Alyn. So gutted I couldn’t get over there after planning for so long, but at least I can follow your adventure.

[@AlynWallace]

Sorry you didn't make it pal! There's another one in Chile next year, jus sayin

[@benmacdougall7485]

SO good Alyn. Looked like a truly amazing experience. Really happy for you to get these once in a lifetime shots. Legend.

[@gerryvaldez654]

Fantastic work and hustle, Alyn. Epic shot, totally enjoyed watching this.

[@GaryGough]

Brilliant video. It’s so great to see somebody so passionate about their hobby. Well done

[@Lagomorphis]

The planet Earth is an incredible place. So thanks Alyn, for reminding the people that take that for granted. This video is the reason why we have a need for the word 'vicarious'.

[@madmike2881]

I went down from Canada for the total ecplise in the states a couple years back and it truly is an amazing experience. Your excited panic in your video I can totally (no pun intended ) relate to! Thanks for the video!

[@wimair_at]

so funny seeing you almost stumbling over these rocks, but I guess I'd do the same. Absolutely awesome portrait and shots!

[@BryanDillonPhotography]

Super incredible mate 👊🏻 loves this Vlog!!! Fantastic experience and the photographs were brilliant!

[@angelicamonk7058]

This is so precious beautiful , just found your channel brother ... Godspeed 💙

[@oliverchris9460]

My Dad would have LOVED to watch this total solar eclipse because he loved astronomy and he knew so much about the Universe and the stars and planets, although he was an ordinary people in this World, without formal studies in Astronomy. He died at the age of 88 JUST one week ago and JUST at 4pm at home with us, and the eclipse was JUST one week after on a Tuesday at 4pm. My mom and I went to visit him at the Cemetery JUST on Tuesday 2nd of July, the day of the eclipse. We live here in Santiago, Chile and my mom and I celebrated this awesome event with him at his tomb. I do love you and miss you Dad.

[@dermontbud2798]

Fantastic Aly!!, and make money for next eclipse in La Araucania region next December 14, 2020 (summer season) in southern Chile. Pucon will be a good place to watch and there you also have Villarrica volcano which is one of the most active in the world, you could take wonderful pics of volcano too, but don't worry, it's not dangerous most of time.

[@dennisbastian9526]

Awesome just damn awesome💪🏻. Thx for sharing this event 👍🏻

[@amitsalvi]

one of your best vlogs.....amazing work man! surreal...

[@jasonhudsonphotography4772]

Wow fantastic Alyn, a wonderful experience. How the hell you managed to VLOG while trying to do all them other things I have no idea. Fantastic image and well worth the trip.

[@Christophhiessphotography]

[@maszekmeans]

I love this experience soo much !!! Thank you for these moments Alyn.

[@trianamiamor]

Wow.~!!! I am with out words.~!!! You were so lucky to experienced that marvelous event.~!!!

[@cebedojames]

I saw my first ever total solar eclipse in Oregon 2 years ago. Its something Ill never forget! Also grateful to capture some incredible pictures from that trip. 2 minutes went by too quick!

[@echoauxgen]

You are AWESOME!! Can not get enough!! This reminds me of when the eclipse came over here (the US) and I planned and planned got all my supplies and gear to use two cameras. In the end the best was done with the SEL24240 zooming out for a good blue hour and zoom in for the diamond ring and all and setting one button for APS-C mode and doing a crop also. You were so busy doing the selfe you did not get Earthshine off the moon just a little tweak with the EV dial but I know you will get the next time now that you are hooked!!!!

[@The_Druid]

That must have been one hell of an experience Alyn! Great job as always. I am giving you a standing ovation here! Woohoo!

[@stofffpv3128]

Brilliant film..well worth a sub..just bought my first second hand DSLR (Sony 1300D) And am totally fired up by your experience..

Alan, your enthusiasm is amazing. Even though you know exactly what will take place, your amazement at what you witness is very genuine and uplifting. You are truly the proverbial “kid in a candy store”. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@scotty4418]

Alyn, sincerely chuffed for you and Adrien and this why you guys are such inspirational people. The effort to deliver when at the same time trying to take it in with the naked eye is worthy of praise you both are receiving and to share your adventure was fantastic. Im sure your mother will forgive the potty mouth 😀

[@AlynWallace]

haha cheers pal!

[@iancar29]

Cracking job man, I can only imagine the high you were on when getting it all. Thanks for putting all the time and effort into sharing the rare scene with us.

That was epic mate! I bet you couldn't backup those photos up quick enough! Insane is the right word. Nice one. 👍

[@DonGoddardAllAboutPaint]

I felt that with you! I was able to see my first total solar eclipse a few years ago and it is a very emotional experience. Great shots though! I just got into astrophotography and photography, so I can't wait until our next solar eclipse. I hope I'm half as ready as you were. Nice work.

[@nightscapeimages.richard]

Another ripper vlog mate, well done on all the things you cover in such a short space of time. Awesome images.

[@BRP42]

Amazing trip! I’m sooo jealous! Just the star field was amazing. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

Wow thanks so much for sharing absolutely fantastic work. I almost cried & I am watching this in 2020 Kaihu New Zealand, cheers Alyn

[@johnhurn3598]

I think that's the best vlog I've ever seen, the excitement you felt really comes through and the images you captured are as always the best. Thanks for sharing your amazing experience 👍

[@nelsonliu5884]

16:35 is truly amazing. Pablo's shot is nicely done as well. Two thumbs up! Thank you for sharing your preparation and experience with us. I will be sure to re-watch this video again when the next total solar eclipse happens in Canada in 2024.

[@dovber90]

Thanks for sharing your experience with us Alyn

[@hammett10ify]

I would love to know as much about photography as you do. Brilliant work

[@SammySantiagoIrizarry]

What a Fantastic Experience!!! I know you didn't get the shot you were looking for. But to witness such an Event is a truly wonderful adventure.

[@hawaiianstarman]

Thank you for the vlog. Well done and so timely! And thanks too for the various links. Your adventure reminds me of my time in the Wyoming landscape searching for the perfect place to observe totality in Aug 2017. Totality was such a quick 2’20”. Amazing you captured images of such quality in such a short period of time. Kudos

[@helencogan2187]

Amazing.. spectacular ETC ETC!! Thank you for sharing the journey...it was awesome to watch!!!

[@AlynWallace]

Thank you so much man means a lot!

[@SebaMortrivo]

I live a few kilometers north of the center of the shadow in Huasco an amazing experience, specially for the people of our region who filled the entire desert to see this wonder , waiting for 2020 in Araucania.

[@ridsnepal]

Well done ONCE again Alyn.....VERY cool and so inspiring (as always!!)....keep the bolls rolling!! Bless you

[@Anthony_Fogarty_Aviation]

Awesome vlog, instead of being jealous, I am going to finally plan my own solar eclipse expedition!!

My favourite comment

[@kolashnikov_47]

I love this video! The emotions u have before, while and after shooting are really showing here which is so nice. Passion 👍

[@paigecfrancis]

Looking forward to a clear sky for the one coming up in a few weeks. Awesome captures on this. Hoping I have a similar experience. Cheers 🤙🏽

[@chrismorgan9852]

Wow!! Wow!! What an amazing experience! Amazing video man! I just want to get out there and take pictures now! (Sadly though its cloudy!) Lol

Wonderful video, Alyn. Thank you for sharing. What an amazing experience. I experienced the total solar eclipse in 2017 and it was incredible.

[@djchips]

Awesome man, thanks for sharing this adventure with us!

[@donnydefenders]

Wow. Incredible Alyn.

[@capitaineplanete]

Great video. Thanks for sharing your experience. Did you keep your solar filter on for the diamond ring and the beads or it's not necessary?

[@axford696969]

This is absolutely superb. Great shots.

[@jakobschultz1663]

Man, that must have been incredible. I was nervous only by watching the vlog ^^ The 50mm shot is amazing! PS: I can totally relate to Adrien getting crazy after a night of timelapsing haha :D

[@AlynWallace]

haha thanks a lot man

[@veronica0406]

Brilliant video! I got to experience the total solar eclipse of 2017 here in Idaho. It was amazing! A very emotional experience.

[@jimbrown7237]

I was in Rexburg in a park, with lots of people from around the world , during the 2017 event. Rexburg Idaho , was approximately in the center of the ecilpse !!!!❤️ It was a great time! I traveled from Alberta to see it. It was more than worth the trip! Where were you , viewing it from in Idaho?

[@veronica0406]

Jim Brown Hi Jim, that is awesome! I live in Boise. We hiked up to the top of the foothills to watch, and it was an amazing experience. I captured some great photos too.

[@gstandaert]

Awesome vlog Alyn, that must have been an amazing experience!

[@richardvernon7019]

Fantastic, Alyn, thanks for posting , inspiring!

Truly amazing..luv it

[@WakoJacKooo]

well performed and planned alyn keep up the good work man

[@solareclipsetimer]

Hi Alyn, this is Gordon Telepun the developer of the app Solar Eclipse Timer commenting. I love your video! Nicely done, very entertaining! I was in Bella Vista, Argentina for the eclipse. I don't want to be picky but I did want to clear up some of your terminology. At 16.58 when you describe that image as the diamond ring, that is actually early Bailey's beads at that point. When you start to have splitting up of the light, that is caused by the mountains and valleys of the Moon, and that is what Baileys beads are. The diamond ring actually occurs before that point, before you see the splitting up of the light. At 17:05 where you describe this image as Bailey's beads, this image is actually at the point where you are imaging chromosome. So just wanted to help with the definitions. I hope you will use my app Solar Eclipse Timer for your next eclipse. Go to my website Solar Eclipse Timer. My KZbin channel called Solar Eclipse Timer has the most comprehensive collection of eclipse education videos on the internet. Everyone should check them out as they prepare for 2020. Thanks for posting this video. Gordon

[@kristapple]

Looks like you had a fantastic time over in Chile 😃 I’m just glad you didn’t go flying over any rocks running back and forth between your cameras 🙈 really enjoyed the vlog 😃

[@scottmcnally]

I felt like I was there. One of your best vlogs. Keep up the great work!

[@mypixelchrome]

Planning, planning, planning. Excellent! 3 thumbs down?? Perhaps because you dropped an f-bomb :) If i'd have had my intervalometer go wonky the air would have been blue. You seemed so calm

[@AlynWallace]

I'm in more shock that I stayed calm than when I realised it wasn't working 😂

[@SteveMillerhuntingforfood]

Pablo's image is spectacular. I just hit the thumb's up about 500 times. What a trip for you, I'm not jealous, but I'm am envious. I alway enjoy your video's but this one is awe-inspiring. Great job Alyn! Come to the western US and I'll be the first to sign up for your workshop.
