You'll notice this video does not have a sponsor. I made it with Patreon support, and I'm super grateful to everyone who supports at www.patreon.com/smartereveryday ! Thank you! If you're a Patron, please be looking for a special post on Patreon for all paid members. I'm going to give you a copy of the photo... and a way to get a printout if you'd like. I had the photo rescanned on a special drum scanner.... so the file itself for this single photo is well over a gigabyte. Be on the lookout for this post! If you're able to figure out the satellite I'm super interested to know what you think! Thank you! Destin

Next time you travel to Finland or Canada or similar place. Find a place with no light polution on a night with clear skys and you will be able to se satellites fly by without your own eyes. Not during the summer though. I suppose a place like Death Valley works also.

Wow! It was great to be a part of creating such a great image and memory. There was so many technical things that could have gone wrong - from accurate enough exposures for slide film, to development, to shutter speed consistency and movement of the camera, that the idea felt a bit unachievable in the beginning. Great to see it turn out this well 😍

Not that I'd really do much with it myself but it would sate a curiosity of how you solved the puzzle. Great job either way helping make that shot possible. Edit: well dang, I did go through the description but somehow missed it, my bad! Watching it now!

Why wouldn’t you use multiple film cameras to mitigate the risks? You can take the pictures at nearly the same time. Just seems like that could be avoided by using multiple cameras on separate tripods.

Or you can just use digital camera and have much better image quality and see if exposure and focus are correct immediately. Stitching composite photo is very easy or you can take multiple exposures.

However modern cameras are enormously better, even cell phone cameras beat professional film cameras of last century in many if not most cases.

Sunlight during eclipse was reflected from Earth to satellite and then back to observer or satellites just reflected part of the sunlight directly to the observer - or both happened.

Great job Destin! I'm a 68 year old, old timer, x-photographer, Brooks Institute of Photography 1979 Grad. I've done a lot of muti-exposure photography work including creating graphics and special effects by doing dozens of exposures on a single piece of film. It's so exciting to get it right and you nailed it. There is so much you can do with digital photography but getting back to the basics of film can be so exciting. Good luck to you man.

I'm 52 and I got a little teary-eyed that this technology is already being lost. It doesn't feel that long ago that film was the only way we captured images, so I feel a little sad that it only took one, maybe one and a half generations for this knowledge to be lost enough that it had to be rediscovered. Then again, I'm still salty that I can't use my old Polaroid Land camera to do polaroid transfers anymore. I must be entering my "Get off my lawn" phase 😂 Destin, I'm so happy you took that extra step to rediscover the technology. That image is *amazing.*

I found the nerdiest location possible for the eclipse. I found the EXACT spot that the 2024 total eclipse path intersected with the 2023 annular eclipse path (withing 100 feet or so) and drove almost 1000 miles to be there during the eclipse. In other words, the only spot you could PERFECTLY see both eclipses. About 50 other people had the exact same idea. It was across the street from a general store in the middle of a bunch of foresty campsights. It was completely cloudy all morning, EXCEPT for the 5 minutes of the actual eclipse! It was the only perfectly clear 5 minutes all morning, just in the area of the sun. We all got a perfect view. We all got extremely lucky. It was amazing.

Just add concerns, such as the need for more precision, and it's the same treasury of careful efforts from a caring heart to come to some helpful fruition again. Let Godly dreams come to life.

Absolutely amazing. And as soon as I saw the object it SCREAMED satellite to me. It's motion was too smooth, and the fact you have the paralax to give you an estimation of how high the thing was can go a long way to figuring out what it was. I do have a humble challenge for you for your next eclipse. I tried and failed this past eclipse to take an image of the stars surrounding the sun during totality. If you can get an image of the stars during an eclipse, and then another of the same spot of the sky but 6 months later, you can see the gravitational lensing of the suns gravitational field by the displacement of the stars by overlaying the images. It's apparently quite hard to take this image pair, but it was done with film originally so it's not outside what should be possible. You have way more camera experience than me so I think you could actually pull it off. I've never seen anyone make a video about replicating this famous experiment that proved Einstein correct.

As an old-school physical film photographer, I remember the trepidation you felt with every snap and every roll of film being developed. You had no way to be certain your shots were captured and when your film was limited to 12, 24 or 36 shots per roll, you had to be super discriminating when to push that button... always hesitant to know if it was the best shot or the right timing. I'm a firm believer in the adage "The best camera is the one you have when you need to take a picture." and I do miss shooting on film but it's just not as convenient.

That's the rewind button. You had to press it to disengage the film advance sprockets so you could rewind the exposed film back into the film canister when you had finished the film. But to make this work on most film cameras, you also needed to hold the rewind crank in position so you wouldn't inadvertently advance the film. And you couldn't guarantee that the film wouldn't move, even slightly, when you re-cocked the shutter.

Yup. For this kind of stuff it's going to be so much easier to just use late model film cameras like the Nikon F80 or F100 (just two models that I know from experience) that have a designated multiple exposure mode that disengages the motor and which have an electronic shutter. That way you just tap the remote and don't risk imparting any vibrations.

I have a Miranda MS-1 super it has the button on the bottom of the camera, and it stops the film from moving on. And i have an old Russian FED camera if you forget to wind the film on , it will keep taking shot after shot without the film moving on. Ideal for shooting eclipse`s providing you get the timing right for each shot.

@jerry2357 I'm super old school. Started with a Pantex , then Nikon and finally a Canon. I know, all over the place. Double exposing didn't seem to be that hard. Anyway that format camera he got was a Rolls Royce compared. When comparing old school to new, the old camera system was simple. You bought the body as the foundation. Then you could spend your money on lenses tripods, filters ext. The body stayed the same. Now it's like you have to buy a body every year to get the latest and greatest with the highest resolution. That's when I tapped out.

It's because of you Destin that we used Dr. Telepun's eclipse app and I was able to bring my disabled father out at the perfect time for him to comfortably see the eclipse happen! I couldn't be more grateful! Thanks to the both of you!

I watched the eclipse with my wife and daughter thanks to you. I find myself in a profound lack of words centered around how grateful I am for this collective human experience. It was truly, literally, pedantically awesome. I definitely teared up at you sharing your experiences of this process with your family. Thank you, thank you, thank you for what you bring into the world to make it a better, more interesting place.

This is an image that will go down in history and is one of the single most detailed single frame film eclipse photos ever made. Be very proud, you accomplished something that hasn't been done in decades. Film is a hard medium to master and you did a great job with the help knowledge and experience of friends.

This is so cool! My late husband was a photographer. When we got married, he had a Hasselblad. That was 50 years ago. He would've been just as excited and mesmerized as Dr. Telepun.

Destin- the music @19:54 takes me RIGHT back to your post on the 2017 eclipse. My Mom and I were about 252 miles away also in Wyoming and we were there thanks to your posting on eclipses with Dr. Telpun. Thank you again!

One of the greatest photos I've seen. Taken with that technology it just takes you back in a special way and also make you reflect on its shapes and similarities. Great video! Can't afford to be a Patreon but if I could, this is one of the channels I would.
