The Twilight Shot of the Century (But, Good Luck Getting a Re-Shoot)
Yes, over 80% of the Sun over the Twin Cities will be covered by the moon’s shadow for about two hours Monday afternoon (August 21).
But, no, that shouldn’t affect scheduled photo shoots for upcoming listings locally (a client just asked whether his 1:30 p.m. appointment should be changed).
That’s because — even at the 1:06 p.m. peak — the effect in Minneapolis – St Paul will apparently be muted (locals will notice only a slight dimming of the Sun).
But, what a cool shot to capture for anyone about to sell a home anywhere in the 70-mile path of total eclipse!
P.S.: With a maximum duration of about 2 1/2 minutes in any one spot, though, photographers attempting such a shot had better be ready (you’ve got to assume serious photographers will be looking elsewhere 🙂 ).
