Stunning captures of the April 8 eclipse have flooded our feeds this week – check out this roundup from some of our favorite Sony shooters.

Stan Moniz – @stanmoniz

Creator and Sony Brand Ambassador Stan Moniz traveled to Fort Worth, Texas to capture The Great American Eclipse. He created the timelapse below of the eclipse using two cameras – the Sony Alpha 7CR and Sony Alpha 6700 – and different focal lengths and merged them together to create something a little different than the norm. "It was pretty nerve-racking to do this, as you don't know if your settings are on point. Luckily enough, I've shot this before and knew what to expect.” Follow his account to see which natural phenomena he captures next.

Autumn Schrock & Nate Luebbe – @autpops and @nateinthewild

Autumn Schrock and Nate Luebbe, who did a Live AMA before the eclipse on our Alpha Universe Community Forums, were both able to capture the event from Texas. The duo of Sony Brand Ambassadors, who recently got engaged, first met during the last total solar eclipse in 2017. Nate writes, “Since then we’ve been all over the world, from the Arctic circle to Antarctica, northern lights and polar bears to penguins and icebergs. We even got engaged under the aurora borealis this February! STILL to this day I think a total solar eclipse is probably the coolest thing I’ve ever seen on this planet, and how special it was to get to share a second one alongside her.” Follow both of them to keep up with their adventures together.

Andrew Geraci – @drewgiggity

Sony Artisan and timelapse pro Andrew Geraci gave us the inside scoop on how to timelapse the eclipse and for the event, he put his own advice into action. He traveled to Ohio to capture the eclipse, and he created the timelapse below showing the eclipse’s shadow as it passes over the line of totality with his Sony Alpha 1 and Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 G Master II. He also used his Sony Alpha 7R V paired with the Sony 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G and Sony 2x Teleconverter to get some stunning close-up shots.

Mike Meyers – @mmeyers76

Sony Brand Ambassador Mike Meyers shared his kit and plans for the eclipse in his What’s In My Bag article. Having captured the 2019 eclipse in Chile, he had an idea of what to expect and how he could be best prepared. He was able to capture the April 8 eclipse from Chicago, and he took this shot below of the event with his Sony Alpha 7R III and Sony 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 G Master and Sony 1.4x Teleconverter.

Monaris – @monaris_

Monaris is a New York City-based street photographer and Sony Brand Ambassador. Her street photography is absolutely next level, and we love the way she managed to capture the eclipse from a different perspective. Instead of pointing her camera at the sky, she captured the people in Times Square with their eclipse glasses ready to view the event together. Follow her as she finds a way to capture the human experience in an artistic and beautiful way.

Curtis Morgan – @curtismorgan

Curtis Morgan is a film director and talented Sony shooter who often posts images of the night skies. We can’t believe this eclipse composite he created using his Sony Alpha 7R V and the Sony 24mm f/1.4 G Master, Sony 135mm f/1.8 G Master, Sony 400mm f/2.8 G Master and Sony 600mm f/4 G Master. He originally planned on capturing the eclipse in Texas, but at the last minute he traveled to Maine where he knew he would be able to get a clear shot. “Plans don’t always work out the way you hope they will.. It’s those uncomfortable detours against all odds that keep you going.” Follow him to see what stunning scenes he captures next.

Dani Hamm – @danigoinhamm

Landscape and wildlife photographer Dani Hamm is a lover of animals and pretty places. She ventured to Maine to capture these images of the eclipse using her Sony Alpha 7R IV and Sony 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G. Follow her to see more of the extraordinary moments in nature she captures with her Sony Alpha.

Shane Ware – @shanewarephoto

Photographer Shane Ware flew to Indianapolis to photograph the eclipse, and he had some plans in addition to capturing a close-up of totality. “One other thing I wanted to accomplish during this eclipse was capturing one of these progression photos over a nice foreground/landscape. Once I knew I was going to Indiana, I googled “most beautiful places in Indiana” and came across Cataract Falls, pictured here. So happy with how this turned out, as the darkness during totality allowed me to get the long exposure waterfall shot with the eclipse overhead. If you look closely you can also see Venus just down and to the right of the eclipse.” Check out his account to see what else he captured from the event and see more of the gear Shane uses in his What's In My Bag article.

Eric Kerr – @eric.kerr

Photographer Eric Kerr also captured a view of the eclipse from Texas. He created the first image below by adapting his Sony Alpha 7R II to his telescope, and the second composite showing the phases of the eclipse was taken with his Sony Alpha 7 IV.

Cesar Borgaro – @bycbvisuals

Video creator Cesar Borgaro posted several different captures of the eclipse, and in the reel below he brings together some of the cinematic video he made with his Sony Alpha 7 IV and Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G Master II and Sony 2x Teleconverter.
