Breaking Full Totality

This picture was taken in Bloomington, Indiana during the April 8th, 2024 Solar Eclipse. I put my camera’s sensor on the line in order to get a picture of the moment full totality broke. What I got was a picture showcasing the rays of light staring to peak through, causing snaking shadows on the ground.
