MEET THE EXPERTS

Meet Les and Mary, photography enthusiasts since their chance meeting on a Yosemite photo trip in 1990. They've since focused on capturing nature's beauty and celestial wonders. With 44+ years' experience, they've photographed eclipses globally and auroras in Alaska and Iceland.

Ahead of the 2017 U.S. solar eclipse, they trained 650+ people in San Diego County. Their impressive record includes 15 total solar and 3 annular eclipses, with their work published in Discover and Astronomy Magazines.

Les, a retired U.S. Navy scientist, and Mary, with 45+ years at the Fleet Science Center and Planetarium, now share their expertise. Learn more at: https://www.lesandmaryphotos.com/

Now within a year of the 2024 U.S. total solar eclipse, I am thrilled that my book is already helping people prepare for the eclipse! It's a comprehensive guide, that is easy to read, to prepare for Eclipse Day. The unique format of this book takes Eclipse Day and divides it into 28 separate essential elements, from arriving at your observation site to leaving at the end of the eclipse. Each of those elements is its own chapter where the information about the astronomy, the science, the observation, photography, and videography techniques are discussed together.
