Gary Holmes, photographer: I have always loved to photograph nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. Although I have staged single and group portraits and still life photographs, I prefer the challenge of trying to capture the unpredictable spontaneity of things and events as they are occurring. I started with a Kodak Brownie as a child, but entered the world of real photography with a Canon AE-1 in the late 1970's. I have continued to develop my compositional and post-processing skills and have slowly acquired higher quality equipment that is now capable of putting those skills to their best use. I finally became confident enough to begin posting my work online in September 2012, and have successfully sold a number of my photographs on Fine Art America.

Shannon Story
Great capture! I got a couple of OK photos, but not as wonderful as yours.
Gary Holmes replied:
Thank you, Shannon. It is not easy to capture these things, I discovered. Very few of several hundred shots were keepers. Sorry you didn't get many. From the lack of other eclipse shots from that day, maybe others had the same problems.
